Alfonso Cortés
Nicaraguan poet (1893-1969)
Alfonso Cortés (9 December 1893 – 3 February 1969) was a Nicaraguan poet. He is often referred to as the second-most-important Nicaraguan poet, with Rubén Darío, who initiated the Spanish-American literary movement known as modernismo (modernism), being the first.[1] Before his death, he often said he was "less important than Darío, but more profound".[2]
