A Cuban poet; born in Havana, 1821; died in 1886. His first collection of poems (1847), entitled "Passion-Flowers", is widely popular. Banished in 1869, he lived alternately in New York and Nassau, writing legends and stories in verse. He was one of the best of Spanish American poets; many of his verses received English, French, and Italian translations. A new edition appeared in 1860, published by the Spanish critic Don Manuel Canete.
