Cesar Vallejo...does anyone know where can I get the english version?

Question

I've just read an article en El Comercio over here about the english translation. I love Cesar vallejo, is a high level writer like a Cervantes ..

Anyway, I have an american friend who is learning some spanish , he is pretty good with it , so I wanted to introduce him to Vallejo . At first I wanted to translate it to english..but I realize I suck at it :/, so probably he won't get the same feeling and he would end up hatting him or passing him as some other writter because of me :/.

Does anyone have heard of him?, or read something from him?, what were your ideas when you did?, did you like him?, I would appreciate if you can be as detailed as you can in your description...thanks.

Cesar Vallejo is an excellent poet in my opinion; I know there is an English translation of Trilces, but I am not sure if it is in print. By all means, I say introduce your friend to this wonderful writer.
