José Luis Vega

José Luis Vega (b. Santurce, Puerto Rico, 1948) is a Puerto Rican poet and academic

In 1972, Vega founded Ventana a poetry magazine that "marked a deliberate distance from the social realist poetry that was in vogue at the time in the country, in favor of a form of writing that was more self-relfexive and intimate."[1]

Vega is currently a professor of Spanish-American poetry at the University of Puerto Rico, Río de Piedras, where he is also Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Director of the Academia Puertorriqueña de la Lengua Española.
