Julián Marchena

Julián Marchena Valleriestra (March 14, 1897 – May 5, 1985) was a Costa Rican poet. He was a recipient of the Magón National Prize for Culture in 1963.

Much of his poetry, such as ''Vuelo supremo'', ''Viajar, viajar'', and ''Lo efímero y Romance de las carretas,'' form part of the collective memory of Costa Rica. Along with the ''Concherías'' of Aquileo J. Echeverría, ''Alas en fuga'', his only book, forms part of the repertory of classical texts that are widely known in the country. Provided by Wikipedia
