Scope and Contents
Trilce was published in the same year as The Waste Land and is, like the Eliot poem, a masterpiece of early modernism, a ground-breaking work which has had an indelible effect on all subsequent poetry in its language. The book, a first edition, includes seventy-seven poems that are considered Vallejo's most complex and radical work. According to Eshelman, one early critic of these poems stated that Vallejo (1892-1938) invented surrealism before Surrealism. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
