It's an asymmetric world

Poeta vanguardista peruano que nacio en Puno (Perú) en 1906, y murió en Madrid (España) en 1936 durante la guerra civil española.

Su único opus publicado es el libro de poemas "5 metros de poemas", el cual aparte de tener los poemas en una tipografia libre, originalmene fue publicado en una hoja de papel continua, que no media realmente 5 metros de largo, sino aproximadamente algo mas the 4 metros (mas o menos 4.15m). El poeta también publicó poemas en diarios y revistas.

Yo encontré uno de sus poemas ("madre") en primaria, y luego pude leer "5 metros de poemas" en una reedición al incio de los 1980s.

Aqui he tratado de replicar lo mejor posible la tipografia peculiar del libro de poemas. Disfrutenlos.

A Peruvian vanguardist poet born in Puno (Peru) in 1906, and deceased in Madrid (Spain) in 1936 during the spanish civil war.

His only published opus is the books of poems "5 metros de poemas" (5 meters of poems), which apart from having the poems in a free typographical style, was originally publish on continuous sheet of paper, not quite 5 meters long but rather a bit over 4 meters (4.15 m). The poet also published other poems in newspapers and magazines.

I first met one of his poems ("madre") in elementary school, and later read "5 metros de poemas" in a re-edition at the early 1980s.

Here I have tried to replicate as best as possible the peculiar typography of his book of poems. Enjoy them.
