José Santos Chocano
José Santos Chocano Gastañodi (May 14, 1875 – December 13, 1934), more commonly known by his pseudonym "El Cantor de América" (), was a Peruvian poet, writer and diplomat, whose work was widely praised across Europe and Latin America. Considered by many to be one of the most important Spanish-American poets, his poetry of grandiloquent tone was very sonorous and full of color. He produced lyrical poetry of singular intimacy, refined with formalism, within the molds of modernism. His work is inspired by the themes, the landscapes and the people of Peru and of America in general. He became the most popular writer in Peru after Ricardo Palma, although his ascendancy in Peruvian literary circles gradually diminished, to the benefit of another great poet of Peru, César Vallejo. He claimed to have rediscovered Latin America through verse in his 1906 collection ''Alma América'', which carried an introduction by the distinguished philosopher-poet Miguel de Unamuno. Chocano was invo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
