Career
Trejo was part of the fundamental "Poetry Buenos Aires Movement", formed in the 50s in turn of the "Poetry Buenos Aires" magazine directed by Raúl Gustavo Aguirre, in which 30 editions (published during a decade, from the spring of 1950) other important poets of those years collaborated, like Alberto Vanasco, Edgar Bailey, Rodolfo Alonso, Ramiro de Casasbellas, Paco Urondo, Alejandra Pizarnik, Daniel Giribaldi, Miguel Brascó, Elizabeth Azcona Cronwell, Natalio Hocsman and Jorge Carrol.
About his emphasized collaborations for the cinema, two might be mentioned: in The Oil Route (Italy, 1966) Trejo interpreted himself, under Bernardo Bertolucci's direction, whereas Desarraigo (Uprooting, Cuba 1965), directed by Fausto Canel, obtained an honorable mention at the 1966 San Sebastián International Film Festival.
His long relationship with the music, his years of friendship with so many musicians, derived in some very important collaborations like the songs The Lost Birds and Private Scandals with Ástor Piazzolla, or Enrico Rava's excellent album Quotation Marks (Japo Records, 1976), in which plays, among others, John Abercrombie, Jack DeJohnette and the Argentinians musicians Néstor Astarita and Ricardo Lew, and in which the singer Jeanne Lee puts her voice to Trejo's poems written in English.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
“I restore myself when I’m alone. A career is born in public—talent in privacy.”
—Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)
