José Ángel Buesa was born in Cruces, Las Villas, Cuba, on September 2, 1910. He attended the Marist Brothers’ School in Cienfuegos for elementary and high school education and later went to Havana for his collegiate studies. Since 1931, Buesa was a writer for all the main radio companies in Cuba, as well as program director and scriptwriter for television and cinema. He wrote poems from an early age and by 22 had already published his first books. Compelled into exile by the communist government of his country, he made numerous trips in North, Central and South America, as well as Europe, Asia and Africa. In a poem he dedicates to his mother, the poet shows the suffering that leaving his homeland caused him. He later settled in the Dominican Republic where he was a professor of literature at the Pedro Henríquez Ureña National University. He died in Santo Domingo, in 1982. His romantic poems earned him the recognition of the most popular poet of his country, as well as many others in Hispanic-America. Among his published works Oasis, Nuevo Oasis, Proteo stand out, along with a few others. The current book, Horario del Viento, was written during his years in exile (1971) and prove that his greatly loved romantic poems had great literary value.
