Major examples of his poetic work are: Nuevo mundo Orinoco (1959), Cármenes (1966) and Fundaciones (1981). Also wrote: Panorama de la literatura venezolana actual (1973) Espiritualidad y literatura: una relación tormentosa (1976), Los fuegos apagados (1990) and El origen sigue siendo (1991). In 1990, Liscano published a personal anthology, a route for his poetic trajectory. He won the Venezuelan National Prize for Literature in 1951.
Liscano was born in Caracas in 1915.[1] He was the editor of the journal Zona franca from 1964 to 1983.[1] He was interested in the pre-colonization folk culture of the coastal regions of Venezuela, reflected in his early works.
