It has been called the “poet in love.” It has been considered the most popular poets in the Cuba of her time. Its popularity was due in large part to the clarity and depth of feeling in his work.

People, reeds, and all means of Cienfuegos, has a charm in the poet’s soul, which begins to take shape in his verses the magic of the surrounding landscape. Still young, he moved to Havana, where he joined literary groups existing at the time and began to publish his poems at age 22 (1932) with a huge success.
After a very productive first step, Buesa is forced to leave Cuba to begin a painful journey through Spain, Canary Islands, El Salvador and finally Santo Domingo. The last years of his life were spent in exile, and devoted himself to teaching, serving as professor of literature at the Universidad Nacional Pedro Henríquez Ureña in the Dominican Republic, where he died on August 14, 1982. In the poem dedicated to his mother, Buesa clearly reflects the suffering caused by having to leave their homeland.

Nacido en Cruces, Las Villas, Buesa le dedicó su vida a su poesía. Murió exiliado en la República Dominicana donde durante sus últimos años sirvió de profesor de literatura en la Universidad Pedro Henríquez Ureña.
Te Acordarás un Día
José Angel Buesa
Te acordaras un día de aquel amante extraño
que te besó en la frente para no hacerte daño.
Aquel que iba en la sombra con la mano vacía
porque te quiso tanto… que no te lo decía.
Aquel amante loco… que era como un amigo,
y que se fue con otra… para soñar contigo.
Te acordarás un día de aquel extraño amante.
Profesor de horas lentas con alma de estudiante.
Aquel hombre lejano… que volvió del olvido
solo para quererte… como a nadie ha querido.
Aquel que fue ceniza de todas las hogueras
y te cubrió de rosas sin que tu lo supieras.
Te acordarás un día del hombre indiferente
que en las tardes de lluvia te besaba en la frente.
Viajero silencioso de las noches de estío
que miraba tus ojos, como quien mira un río.
Te acordaras un día de aquel hombre lejano
del que más te ha querido… porque te quiso en vano.
Quizás así de pronto… te acordarás un día
de aquel hombre que a veces callaba y sonreía.
Tu rosal preferido se secara en el huerto
como para decirte que aquel hombre se ha muerto.
Y el andará en la sombra con su sonrisa triste.
Y únicamente entonces sabrás que lo quisiste.
