Medardo Ángel Silva
Medardo Ángel Silva Rodas (June 8, 1898 at Guayaquil – June 10, 1919 at Guayaquil) was an Ecuadorian poet and a member of the ''Generación decapitada''. The "Decapitated Generation" was a group of four young Ecuadorian poets in the first decades of the 20th century. Two men from Guayaquil, Medardo Ángel Silva and Ernesto Noboa y Caamaño, and two men from Quito, Arturo Borja and Humberto Fierro, were the precursors of ''modernismo'' in Ecuador. These four writers were greatly influenced by the modernist movement of Rubén Darío and by 19th-century French romantic poetry. Though they knew each other and dedicated poems to each other, they never met together to create a true literary group.
