Daz Mirn, Salvador

Daz Mirn, Salvador slv??r d?s m?r?n [key], 1853?1928, Mexican poet. Daz Mirn's life abounded with revolutionary plots, political quarrels, duels, and vigorous journalistic debates. His early post-romantic poetry was written under the influence of Byron and Victor Hugo, whereas his later verse was exquisitely polished and less emotional in tone. One of his poems, A Gloria, is thought to have influenced Jos Santos Chocano and Rubn Daro. His collection Lascas [chips from a stone] (1901) marks him as a precursor of modernismo.
