| biography:
| Poet, born in Metapa, WC Nicaragua. He lived a wandering life of journalism, amours, and diplomatic appointments. His Azul (1888, Blue) and Prosas Profanas (1896, Profane Hymns) gave new vitality to Spanish poetic Modernism. After 1898 he worked mainly in Europe, where he wrote Cantos de vida y esperanza (1905, Songs of Life and Hope). Influenced by French Symbolism, he established the Spanish-American modernist literary movement which abandoned Spanish provincialism. |
