Buried Cuban Poet Angel Augier

Ángel Augier, an Holguín poet born in Freyre municipality, 1991 National Literature Award and founder of the National Association of Cuban Writers and Artists (UNEAC), was buried yesterday in Havana's Colón cemetery.

A breathing problem brought about his death. Augier was the UNEAC vice-president for several years, founded the Cuban Journalist Association (UPEC) and was member of the Cuban Spanish Languague Academy. His last visit to Holguín was during the International Book Fair in 2006, when I made this portrait.
