Maín Ximénez is the first pseudonym of the Colombian poet Porfirio Barba Jacob. Through a biographical journey across Barba Jacob’s childhood and early youth, I trace the origins of Maín considering the correspondence, autobiographical writings and archives of the time. I inquire into the publications in which he appears and examine the transition from the real to the literary plane, in order to understand the meaning and transcendence of the name. I address his birth, paying special attention to how Maín migrates to the poem to embody his poetic project, conceived from a wild rural environment with the creation of Maín at the center of his scriptural concerns.
