José Santos Chocano

Biography

Peruvian poet and political activist, whose work was widely praised across Europe and Latin America. Chocano interacted with major Spanish poets, as well as statesmen from many different regimes, where he was treated as a poet laureate. He claimed to have rediscovered Latin America through verse in his 1906 collection 'Alma América', which carried an introduction by the distinguished philosopher-poet Miguel de Unamuno. Chocano was involved in many violent feuds with other intellectuals, and was jailed for shooting a journalist who had criticised him. In his turn, Chocano was stabbed to death on a tram in Santiago de Chile by an unknown assailant on 13 December 1934, aged 59.

Scholfield quotes from José Santos Chocano, poeta de América by F. Zora Carvajal (Editorial Garcilaso, 1969), p. 21: "En los libros parroquiales del Sagrario de la Catedral, de la ciudad de Lima, existe una partida que dice así: "En la ciudad de Lima, en veintitrés de mayo de mil ochocientos setenticinco, el Presbítero D. Liberato Gutiérrez, ínter de la Parroquia del Sagrario de la Catedral, exorcizó, bautizó solemnemente, puso óleo y crisma a José Santos, nacido el catorce de los corrientes, blanco; hijo legítimo de don José Félix Chocano y de doña María Aurora Gastanodi... Los biógrafos del poeta apuntan que nació en un día lluvioso, a las siete de la noche El, después, afirmaría que nació a las siete y catorce minutos."

(In the parish books of the Sagrario de la Catedral, in the city of Lima, there is a line which reads as follows: 'In the city of Lima, on the twenty-third of May, eighteen hundred and seventy-five, the Presbyter D. Liberato Gutierrez, of the Sagrario Cathedral, exorcized, baptized solemnly, put oil and christened Jose Santos, born the fourteenth of the current month, white, legitimate son of Don Jose Félix Chocano and Dona Maria Aurora Gastanodi...' The poet's biographers point out that he was born on a rainy day at seven o'clock in the evening. He later claimed that he was born at seven-fourteen).

Time is given as morning in Obras completas by José Santos Chocano and ‎Luis Alberto Sánchez (Aguilar, 1954), p. 13: "José Santos Chocano nació en Lima el 14 de mayo de 1875, a las 7 y 14 minutos de la mañana, de donde arranca su notoria superstición por el número 7 y sus factores 3 y 4." (José Santos Chocano was born in Lima on 14 May 1875, at 7:14 in the morning, from where he began his notorious superstition by number 7 and his factors 3 and 4).

Same data in José Santos Chocano: sus últimos años by Margarita Aguilar Machado (Arancibia Hnos, 1964), p. 27: "José Santos Chocano nació en Lima, el 14 de mayo de 1875, a las 7 y 14 minutos de la mañana."
