In 2001, Eshleman received the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award of the American Academy of Poets for his translation of Incan-Peruvian poet Cesar Vallejo's long poem "Trilce," regarded by many critics as the greatest poem written during the last hundred years.
Eshleman's extreme care as a translator is evident in the fact that he first published "Trilce" in 1992, then revised it substantially in 2000.
Eshleman and his wife Caryl are authorities on Ice Age art, having written about the subject in poetry and prose for more than a quarter century.
