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:
“I restore myself when I’m alone. A career is born in public—talent in privacy.”
—Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
