Humberto Fierro (1890 – August 23, 1929) was an Ecuadorian poet who was part of a group known as the "Generación decapitada" (Decapitated Generation).
The "Generación decapitada" (Decapitated Generation) was a literary group formed by four young Ecuadorian poets in the first decades of the 20th century.
These four writers were greatly influenced by the modernist movement of Rubén Darío and by 19th-century French romantic poetry.
They all read this poetry in the original language, by authors including Baudelaire, Hugo, Rimbaud, and Verlaine.
The term "generación decapitada" originated in the middle of the 20th century, when Ecuadorian journalists and historians decided to name them, noting similarities in the authors' poetry.
