Juan L. Ortiz
Juan Laurentino Ortiz was an Argentine poet, born in the town of Puerto Ruiz, Entre Rios Province. He died in Parana, capital of the same province, at the age of 82.
His extensive work identified the mind with the landscape that surrounded him throughout his life in a "splendid monotony". The image of his tall and thin figure in concentrated observation of the river scenery transcended his work and became a literary legend. 'Juanele', as he began to be called in the literary circles of the Argentinian capital, published his poems of long verses in lowercase typography, taking painstaking care of every aspect of the manuscript. As a result, these characteristics tended to be respected by his publishers in the published version of his poems.
