César Vallejo, the poet of home and hearth

Abstract

This article focuses on the childhood home and mother in the work of the Peruvian poet César Abraham Vallejo Mendoza. For the author of Trilce, home was an intimate space that the poet evoked in his work and would constantly sing to housing. The childhood home is irreplaceable, and for him it represents the nostalgic space which even if he is away, he often recreates it. This brings peace, human warmth, affection and Vallejo is much attached to it. In Vallejo, there are essential priorities, which are included in the everyday world of his work: a) The childhood home, and b) the mother as the core of that home. They are substantial elements for understanding the homeland as a microcosm of the global hearth.
