Cesar Vallejo: The Dialectics of Poetry and Silence - Jean Franco - Bog

This 1976 book was the first full-length study in English of the Peruvian poet, Cesar Vallejo (1892-1938). Franco explores limitations on the poet's freedom of speech, and goes on to explore Vallejo's later poetry, which gestures towards the tentative nature of humanity and civilisation that gives the poetry its abiding relevance.
