• ... that Mexican poet Manuel Carpio wrote the earliest known published version of the ghost La Llorona in 1849? Source: "By “literary legend,” Paredes is referring to the stories about La Llorona in the other major category: accounts of the ghost’s human origins. He characterizes them as “literary” because many of the earliest of them arise in literary sources. The earliest such account that I could find comes from a poem by Manuel Carpio published in 1849 and entitled “La Llorona”" - Library of Congress

    Interesting life, on few but good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The hook works, especially the second version. In the article, I recommend that you get his medical training and appearing at the UN to lead and/or infobox. He wasn't just a poet. If this was my topic I'd also get some of it in the hook, but up to you. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:04, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
