Demetrio Korsi (1899-1957) studied both law and medicine but was unable to complete his studies for health-related reasons. In 1916, some of his poems were included in the seminal anthology, Parnaso Panameño, which instigated his renewed dedication to poetry.

from the article:

New York

Triumphs the light, capitalized by Edison in the virginal bosom of the ‘ferry-boat.’ Skyscrapers, ‘Five-cents’ built, how many projects crash against your walls!

Within you they all roar, “Oh, great New York!” The machinery and the hunger; Statue of Liberty, your light, is not for the South. Cut off your arm.
