The Puerto Rican Literature Project

Ernesto Avellanet Mattei (1879?–1918?) was a poet and journalist from Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. In his thirties, he directed the only newspaper that advocated for the Partido Union in his hometown, El Libertador, and two years later, in 1914, he directed La Crítica. His poetry books include Crepúsculo (1905) and Aurora (1906), and an unpublished manuscript Bohemias.
