Ramon Lopez Velarde

Ramon Lopez VelardeRamón López Velarde, (1888-1921), modernist Mexican poet who incorporated French Symbolist techniques into the treatment of purely Mexican themes. López Velarde studied law and was a journalist and civil servant. His first book of poems, La sangre deota (1916; The Pious Blood), treats the simplicity of country life, the tension between sensuality and spirituality, and the poet's love for his cousin Fuensanta (Josefa de los Ríos); the language is often complex and full of daring imagery. In Zozobra (1919; Uneasiness) the themes of his previous work are treated with greater intensity. The death of Fuensanta in 1917 elicited the feelings of loss and anguish and the expressions of profound sensuality found in the poems. El son del corazón (1932; The Sound of the Heart) collected the poems not published at the time of López Velarde's death. Although his poetry did not gain recognition during his lifetime, López Velarde came to be considered one of the greatest Mexican poets of the century. His influence on avant-garde poets in Mexico is unquestionable. He is also the author of the essay collections El minutero (1933; The Minute Hand), El don de febrero (1952; The Gift of February), and Prosa política (1953; Political Prose), dealing with some of the same preoccupations of his poetry in a highly poetic style.
