and 1 910 he was the editor of the daily 

 paper Hcraldo de Matanzas; from 19 10 to 



191 7 he was editor of El Impartial and in 



19 1 8 took charge of El Jejen, all published 

 in Matanzas. 



Lies has gained a very creditable reputa- 

 tion as an editor and journalist, but he has 

 won greater distinction in the higher field 

 of poetry in which he has produced a con- 

 siderable body of work characterized by 

 faultless form and a genuine lyric note. In 

 association with his brother Francisco he 

 has issued three volumes of verse: Crepus- 

 culos, in 1909; Sol de invienw, in 19 10, and 

 Limoneros en flor, in 191 1, in addition to 

 which he has collected a volume of his 

 fugitive poems entitled A orillas del Pireo, 

 inspired by aspects of ancient Greece.
