American poetry. Daughter of Peter Patrick Brannon, American engineer, and the Salvadoran Carmen Vega Zelayanda, studied at the Assumption College of the City of Santa Ana, where the young Claudia opted for the humanities. Religion and poetry are linked to your home to enhance their natural sensitivity. From early on was influenced by the ancient classics and Spanish (Gngora, Quevedo, Fray Luis de Leon), and that of the English Romantics and Ruben Dario. It also coincided with some of his contemporaries, such as the Salvadoran Salarru storyteller. Poetess early age of seventeen published a short book of poems that went unnoticed: Sad mirages, which saw the light thanks to the patronage of General Juan Jos Caas and poet, one of his early mentors. By the time Claudia Lars kept affairs with the poet Salomon de la Selva. But in 1919, when they had already formalized their commitment to marriage, the father of Claudia decided to break the link and send her daughter to the United States, home of some relatives settled in Pennsylvania. There he met Le Roy Beers, whom he married after a short courtship. Without abandoning the North American country, the poet settled with her new husband in the Brooklyn borough of New York, where he served as professor of Spanish at the Berlitz School. In 1927 he had the opportunity to return home with his spouse, who had just been appointed U.S. consul in El Salvador. Lodged in the Salvadoran capital, in late 1927 their first child was born, Le Roy Brannon Beers, which would be the only child of Claudia Lars. Claudia Lars returned to haunt the literary, especially gathered around the poet Trigueros Alberto Guerra, composed of writers like Alberto Masferrer, and Serafin Salarru Quiteo. In this new environment of Claudia Lars poetry flowed again with spontaneity and ease, which resulted in 1934 in a new lyrical delivery: Stars at the well, published in the famous Editions Convivio through the will of the director, the Costa Rican intellectual Joaqun Garca Monge.
