Juan Ramón Molina

Died in 1908

Juan Ramón Molina was born on 17 April 1875, in Comayagüela according to most biographers. A journalist, he held ministerial posts very young, and his political commitments earned him prison and exile. He has been called the twin in poetry of the great Nicaraguan modernist. After the fall of Manuel Bonilla's government in 1907, he took refuge in San Salvador. An alcoholic, he died there in November 1908, aged thirty-three, without having published a single book in his lifetime.
