Juan Enrique Geenzier (June 12, 1887 – September 21, 1943) was a self-taught Panamanian writer, politician, and diplomat.
In 1916, he won the Natural Flower (Flor Natural) prize at the Floral Games.[1] Geenzier ran the literary magazine Esto y Aquello.[1] He served as a diplomat in Costa Rica, New York, and Venezuela.[1] [2] He also was Secretary of External Relations and the governor of Colon.[1]
Though some romanticism is apparent in Geenzier's poetry, its predominant impulse is modernism; its sentimentality is often somewhat ironic.[2] Demetrio Korsi wrote of Geenzier in his Antología de Panamá: "In his moments of true inspiration, he is simply exquisite."[3]
