The Life and Writings of Honduran Poet Juan Ramón Molina (1875-1908)

Description

The poetry of Juan Ramon Molina is perhaps to date one of the most undeservingly overlooked Central American works of the last century. While the majority of talented writers from this region are not very well known throughout the Americas and Europe, each country has managed to gain some international recognition for their greatest literary figures, Molina being one of the exceptions. This has not occurred due to a lack of appreciation for Molina in his native Honduras. Publication of his work drew praise from writers such as Miguel Angel Asturias and the repeated declaration from critics of his poetry that he is the greatest poet Honduras has produced.
