Within the Peruvian literary canon, Carlos Oquendo de Amat's only poetry book, 5 metros de poemas, has a place of particular importance. However, such work remained on the sidelines for a long time until it would be rediscovered by Mario Vargas Llosa, giving it the relevance it deserved within the Peruvian lyrical course. For this reason, in the present work an approach is made to the first critical receptions to the work of the Peruvian bard, as well as too much more extensive andelaborate works. Likewise, based on the philosophical postulates by Gustavo Bueno (1972), we will analyze and interpret the aforementioned collection of poems, uniting the formal aspects and the content to reveal its meaning; which, in turn, will be related to a critical stance towards society and the place of art and the subject in it.
