JOSÉ ASUNCIÓN SILVA, one of the founders of the modernist school of
Spanish poetry, was born at Bogotá, Columbia. He modeled
many of his reforms on the practice of Edgar
Allan Poe, and displayed unusual genius throughout his short
and unhappy life, which was ended by his own hand. His works
were published in Paris by Baldomero Sanín Cano in 1913. |
