Description: This is the first book in India on contemporary Peruvian poetry, laying special emphasis on the symbolisms and imageries of universal and philosophical nature. The book delves into the various symbols and images that the poets of the Generation of 50’s in Peru used. A special homage is paid to the late poet Javier Sologuren who expired in 2004. Constant comparison and contrast has been made between his imageries, motifs and symbolisms with other Peruvian poets or of the others who were considered the “founders of the new poetry of Latin America”.

In his search for the Meaning and the Revelation (of the invisible) the works of Javier Sologuren are inspired by such varied sources as the Buddhist philosophy or the sayings of Zen. His experiments are even nourished by the Japanese Haiku as well as the Spanish Barroque expressions. Not surprisingly, Sologuren has also felt a deep attraction towards the mystique of the Indian tradition, and this is clearly reflected in his works. In the book special mention is made of these Oriental sources. Preface of the book was written by the Ambassador of Peru in India.
