Manuel Maples Arce

Manuel Maples Arce (Papantla, Veracruz, México 1898 - 1981) was a Mexican poet, lawyer, diplomat and writer, founder of the Stridentism movement in 1921. In 1924 he published Urbe. Superpoema bolchevique en cinco cantos, which English version, made by John Dos Passos, was edited in 1929 by The T.S. Book Company of New York, entitled as Metropolis. This edition is maybe the first poetry book of a Mexican, and the first of the Spanish language avant-garde, translated into English.
