Resumen

Here we would like to highlight the centennial validity of Trilce, a collection of poems that Vallejo published, first in Peru and then in Madrid, in 1931. We will refer to the writer’s need to invent a word, trilce, to give a title to a hermetic poetry book, ambiguous, but open to multiple interpretations. We will also refer to a group of literary critics (trilcicos) who, since the beginning of 1922, and throughout the following decades of the 20th century and the three decades of the 21st, have contributed to a more exhaustive and valuable knowledge of this collection of poems, currently considered one of the most important books in the world.
