Synopsis "Against Professional Secrets"

Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Spanish by Joseph Mulligan. César Vallejo is indispensable to the Latin American experimental tradition and one of the first Peruvian poets to become a reference point for American writers. In AGAINST PROFESSIONAL SECRETS Vallejo cannibalizes the European tradition and transforms it into an American experience. Joseph Mulligan's exceptional translation opens up that dialogue to English, to a new readership, and to the present--Ernesto Livon-Grosman.

César Abraham Vallejo Mendoza (Santiago de Chuco, March 16, 1892-Paris, April 15, 1938) was a Peruvian poet and writer. He is considered one of the greatest innovators of universal poetry of the 20th century and the leading figure in Peruvian literature.

He is, in the opinion of critic Thomas Merton, «the greatest Catholic poet since Dante, and by Catholic I mean universal» and, according to Martin Seymour-Smith, «the greatest poet of the 20th century in any language».
