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:
“Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.”
—Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964)
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
“The problem, thus, is not whether or not women are to combine marriage and motherhood with work or career but how they are to do so—concomitantly in a two-role continuous pattern or sequentially in a pattern involving job or career discontinuities.”
—Jessie Bernard (20th century)
