José Alfredo de Llerena (Guayaquil, 1912—Quito, 1977)[1] was an Ecuadorian writer, characterised by his innovation and creativity within 20th century avant-garde Ecuadorian poetry.
Biography
Llerena completed his secondary studies at the Instituto Nacional Mejía[2]. In 1934, at 22 years old, he published his first book of poetry, Agonía y paisaje del caballo, a disconcerting and provocative work challenging the old rhetorical method by adopting a comprehensive irony. He was already part of one of the emblematic literary groups of the 20th century, the poets of Elan. Principally known for his poetry, Llerena also incorporated contemporary modernism into the development of short stories and essays. His narratives are characterised by their social orientation.
