Items related to The Black Heralds (Discoveries)
Originally published in Peru in 1919 before the poet fled to Europe to avoid incarceration, this collection of poems is the first from a man who would become a significant voice of Latin American poetry. César Vallejo's work reveals a mystical and social vision that penetrates the deepest recesses of the human spirit and consciousness, and is influenced by the many experiences he had in his relatively short life of 49 years, including time in jail, the alienation of exile, poverty, exploitation, and war.

Review:
"Few poets have ever expressed the human condition as Vallejo did . . . From the very first line, the discerning reader is convinced that what follows will be a profound literary experience, a view of life perceived from a harrowingly surrealistic perspective." Library Journal"
From the Author:
A big job: translating a difficult but important work.
The Peruvian Cesar Vallejo has been called "the century's greatest poet in any language". Los heraldos negros (The Black Heralds) was his first book, appearing in 1919. It's romantic, exotic, beautiful and plain weird, and lots more besides.
