Against professional secrets
César Vallejo
Translated from Spanish by Joseph Mulligan
Against professional secrets, by César Vallejo and translated from Spanish by Joseph Mulligan, gives English-language readers Vallejo’s sharp, anti-official intelligence, where the poem can feel like a wound arguing with bureaucracy, secrecy, and inherited power. Published by Roof Books, it should be approached first as a book of encounter rather than as a biographical assignment. The useful question is not what the poems are supposed to mean in a single solved sentence, but what kind of attention they ask the reader to practice. For this library, the entry matters because it keeps Peru in the translated poetry conversation as a living source of image, pressure, and voice.
