Abstract

Information about poetry in Peru is presented. Literary critic José Miguel Oviedo regretted the exclusion of so many poets when the Argentine literary journal "Sur" requested him to prepare a representative anthology of contemporary Peruvian poetry. In the late 19th century, a significant share of critical discussion of poetry in Peru has focused on the tensions between political imperatives and aesthetic informed by historical and social dilemmas.
