Joset’s mother’s family—like him in the house—the Lima Rosados are of Spanish descent, as is his father’s family, but they have lived longer on the island, suggesting a child committed to independence and wanting to exile himself to Florida for a while. Paternal family – Lezama Rodda – part of a child born in Bilbao and father José María Lezama Rodda, who was a soldier, apuest and a cruel man who died in 1919 in EE.UU. on an official mission, as holder of the crown.

Lezama Lima was born on December 19, 1910. She spent her childhood in the Columbia military camp, which was created by the states before the rise of Cuba in 1902. A prepared child he suffered from asthma and insomniawhich emphasizes maternal care, complaints that some critics associate with his stylistic baroqueism, as always admired Proust.
In this volume, the years of childhood and adolescence of the Cuban poet are treated with knowledge and ease
With economic problems after the death of his father, Lezama studies in Havana at a religious school there. (lecturer voraz, always eager to know) If you graduate directly from university, this is a useful occupation. He has two brothers, Rosa and Eloísa, who live at Prado 9, from where they only settle in the last and most modest house at Trocadero 162 in 1930. There, among books and books, Lezama and his mother lived their whole lives.
He was a friend of writers and painters the Origenes groupfrom father Ángel Gaztelu, Gastón Baquero, Cintio Vitier or Fina García Marruz. Not always well-intended for its metaphysical and mysterious intent, Lezama published in 1936 the story “Fugados”, a relationship between three friends with clearly visible homosexual villains. In 1937 he published one plaques, Death of Narcissuswhich is the great beginning, difficult and symbolic, of the poet Lezama.
In 1930 attends the Lorca Conference in Havana. They are presented in a very gay context near a rare Colombian poet Porfirio Barba Jacob. JRJ and his wife Zenobia, who hated the tropics, treated them at the Hotel Vedado where they lived. Their paths seem to be very different but always in great respect. And finally Zambrano, seeker of knowledge about the soul. Masters, friends and great friends. It will continue. Ex 1939.
