| biography:
| Poet, born in Las Palmas, Spain. With his friends Tomás Morales and Saulo Torón, he was one of a trio of post-Modernist poets in the Canary Isles, and represents there the spirit of the Generación del 1898. El lino de los sueños (1915) is tinged with melancholy, the poet's financial and other difficulties seemingly reflected in the irony and resignation of his poetry. In his prose Crónicas de la ciudad y de la noche (1919), he condemns the inertia and spiritual emptiness of his countrymen. La umbría (1922) is a three-act dramatic poem. Los caminos dispersos (1944) consists of his later poems, published posthumously, in which he comes near to the mood of Antonio Machado. |
