«Poemas humanos. España, aparta de mí este cáliz» is the poetry collection by César Vallejo, edited with introduction and notes by Francisco Martínez García, published as a paperback by Castalia Ediciones (276 pages, in Spanish).
This edition brings together two key works by César Vallejo. «Poemas humanos» comprises seventy-six poems of varied length, structure and intensity, which raise the question of continuity or standstill in the poet's writing. «España, aparta de mí este cáliz» groups fifteen poems born of the Spanish Civil War of 1936, in which Spain's survival is sung as a symbol of that of Peru, of humanity and of the word itself.
It belongs to the Clásicos Castalia collection, number 159. It includes a biographical and critical introduction, bibliographical note, select bibliography and indexes.
Recommended for students and readers of Spanish and Latin American poetry, as well as for those approaching the work of César Vallejo with critical support.
César Abraham Vallejo Mendoza was a Peruvian poet, writer, playwright, and journalist. Although he published only two books of poetry during his lifetime, he is considered one of the great poetic innovators of the 20th century in any language. Thomas Merton called him "the greatest universal poet since Dante". The late British poet, critic and biographer Martin Seymour-Smith, a leading authority on world literature, called Vallejo "the greatest twentieth-century poet in any language." He was a member of the intellectual community called North Group formed in the Peruvian north coastal city of Trujillo.
