Victor Hernández Cruz (born February 6, 1949) is a Puerto Rican poet. In 1981, Life magazine named him one of America's greatest poets. During his high school years he wrote various poems, including "Snaps". In 1969, Random House published his collection "Snaps" and the following year his poetry began to appear in various publications including Evergreen Review and the New York Review of Books. In 1970, Hernández Cruz worked with New York's "Poetry-in-the-school" program. He moved to San Francisco in 1973 and served as a visiting poet in various colleges. From 1973 to 1975, he read and performed his works as a traveling troubadour, covering much of the United States. Hernández Cruz received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. In 1981, the April issue of Life magazine proclaimed Hernández Cruz a National Treasure when they included his name among the greatest American poets.
