Reception of César Vallejo’s Poetics in the Literary Works of Sigitas Parulskis and Vytautas Stankus

Abstract

The article presents a comparative analysis of the poems “La violencia de las horas” (“Violence of the Hours”) by the Peruvian poet César Vallejo, “Subjektyvi kronika” (“A Subjective Chronicle”) by the Lithuanian poet Sigitas Parulskis and “Devynios gyvybės” (“Nine Lives”) by his compatriot poet Vytautas Stankus. The aim of this research is to trace and highlight relations between the texts, explore how the meaning in a highly intertextual artwork is created, and to establish the common poetic features of the works discussed.
