César Vallejo
by César Vallejo
Translated by Joseph Mulligan
Roof Books just couldn’t resist treating its readers to this previously untranslated prose work of César Vallejo in Against Professional Secrets. These poems brilliantly translated by Joseph Mulligan attack the received wisdom of poets in favor of a completely lived existence. Collected from a cardboard box in Vallejo’s archive, this volume represents a series of prose poems that were selected by the author for publication along with material that he was in the process of choosing from before he died including the additions and deletions he proposes.
