Jose Maria Heredia by Ediciones Matanzas
The three poems in this edition are printed as a tribute to the bicentennial of Jose Maria Heredia.
"José María Heredia y Heredia (December 31, 1803 – May 21, 1839) was a Cuban poet, born at Santiago de Cuba. He studied at the University of Havana, and was called to the bar in 1823. In the autumn of 1823 he was arrested on a charge of conspiracy against the Spanish government, and was sentenced to banishment for life. He took refuge in 1825, and then went to Mexico, where, becoming naturalized, he obtained a post as magistrate.
"In 1832 a collection of his poems was issued at Toluca, and in 1836 he obtained permission to visit Cuba for two months. Disappointed in his political ambitions, and broken in health, Heredia returned to Mexico in January 1837, and died at Toluca on the 21 May 1839." - Wikepedia
