vicente medina

vicente tomás medina -lrb- ; 27 october 1886 -- 17 august 1937 -rrb- was a spanish poet , dramatist and editor , and a symbol of local identity for the murcia region of southeastern spain .
his best-known work , `` aires murcianos '' -lrb- `` murcian airs '' -rrb- , was taken up as a reference point for local cultural and social criticism , and was widely-praised by contemporaries .
in his time medina was considered in spain to be one of the country 's most important writers , referred to as `` the great contemporary spanish poet '' and `` the spanish poet of poets '' .
his fame has since declined , and he is now little read ; but he remains an important figure as the greatest poet to have written in the murcian dialect .
