He published his first collection of poetry, ''En las Oscuras Manos del Olvido'' ("In the Dark Hands of Forgetting"), at 22. He was part of the Cuban literary group ''Origines'' in the 1950s. Praised as a lyric poet and writer of short stories, he was also a translator of fairy tales, and some of his poems were directly based on fairy tales. For Diego, fairy tales were also instrumental in the literacy education of the Cuban population after the 1959 Cuban Revolution. Provided by Wikipedia
