Geo Milev and César Vallejo – Dialogic Readings

Summary/Abstract: The current course paper represents two poets who, at first glance, would struggle to find a common perspective. However, resemblance exists in their understanding of literature, the world, and their creative works. The sociocultural context in Peru and Bulgaria from World War I until the 1930s portrays significant connections and contrasts in the topics and motives of Geo Milev’s creations and those of Peruvian poet César Vallejo – widely regarded as one of the brightest representatives of avant-garde literature. Topics of exploration are the views of the two poets regarding modern poetry and the works of the new generation. Another focal point in their creations is the attitude towards religion and God’s displays. Object of research is also the connection with folklore. Lyrical prose is another essential point of interest in the course paper. In their poetry, similarities are abundant. The differences in their newer style of writing are highlighted on a language basis – play with punctuation (missing dots and commas), graphical experimentation (unusual usage of small and large letters, new lines). Regarding structure, the leading concept is fragmentariness. Geo Milev and César Vallejo are among the most distinguished representatives of avant-garde literature in Bulgaria and Peru, respectively, while the countries are peculiarly adjacent in their literary tendencies. Dialogic readings aim to support this statement.
