Egbert Martin (c. 1861 – June 23, 1890), writing under the alias Leo, was a 19th-century Guyanese poet.[1][2]
His poetry deal mostly with spiritual topics, while also focusing on the themes of African-Guianese history. Recurring themes of his works include change, disintegration, and death, which have been frequently associated with his frail health condition.[3] Martin was highly regarded by contemporary critics and is considered as Guyana's first major poet, despite his death from tuberculosis at the age of 29.[4] He is regarded as the founder of modern Guyanese literature.
