Juan Ramón Jiménez

Juan Ramón Jiménez (December 24, 1881 – May 29, 1958) was a Spanish poet. He was born in Moguer, near Huelva in the Andalusia region of Southern Spain. He made the region famous with his prose poem about a writer and his donkey, called Platero y Yo (1914). He was a prolific poet and wrote several dozen books. One of his most important contributions to modern poetry was the idea of "poesia pura," or pure poetry. He was an opponent of the regime of Francisco Franco and fled to Puerto Rico in 1939. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1956.
