Manlio Argueta

Manlio Argueta was born on 24 November 1935 in San Miguel. A law student at the University of El Salvador, he devoted himself above all to poetry, took part in the University Literary Circle and won the floral games of his native city in 1956. His writings critical of those in power drove him into exile in Costa Rica, from 1972 to 1993, where he lived mainly from teaching. Winner of the Casa de las Américas prize for a novel, and visiting professor in North America and Europe, he later directed the National Library of El Salvador.
