Other distinguished poets of this generation were Lorenzo García Vega, Samuel Feijóo and Félix Pita Rodríguez, but Lezama Lima was by far the central figure of Cuban poetry by mid-century. Dense metaphors, complex syntax and conceptual obscurity define the Baroque poetic environment, which consisted in a struggle to reach a vision through which life would not continue seeming like "a yawning succession, a silent tear". Lezama Lima's work spans various volumes of poetry, including "Muerte de Narciso" (1937), "Enemigo rumor" (1947), "Fijeza" (1949) and "Dador" (1960).
