José Lezama Lima
Biography
José Lezama Lima was born in Campamento de Columbia (on the outskirts of Havana) in 1912. As a student he demonstrated against Machado. After studying law, he turned to literature and remained a major influence on Cuban letters till his death in 1976. He edited Verbum and Origenes, two highly influential Cuban magazines. He has produced a wide body of often difficult, hermetic and erotic poetry but is best known, particularly outside Cuba, for his novel Paradiso (Paradiso).
