Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"Few poets have ever expressed the human condition as Vallejo did; compared with Neruda's sometimes glib, easy lyricism, Vallejo's verse is a convoluted thorn bush of passion and suffering. This, his first book of poetry, already reveals the complex intellectual, emotional, and spiritual qualities that characterize his later work (e.g. "Poemas Humanos"). From the very first line ('There are blows in life, so hard . . . I just don't know!'), the discerning reader is convinced that what follows will be a profound literary experience, a life perceived from a harrowingly surrealistic perspective; 'To go along dying and singing. And to baptize the shadows/with Babylonian blood.' Essential for anyone seriously interested in modern poetry."--"Library Journal"
