Sixth of eight children, four men and four women, Vicente had a childhood of economic straits in the middle of the Spanish Civil War.
In 1964 he attends the Literary Meetings in Ruidera at the hands of Pascual Antonio Beño and he writes verses with a thematic similar to that of the also manchego poet Juan Alcaide: the landscape and countryside of La Mancha in which he was raised and educated, his children, the Sun, Christmas and, finally, the Hope that will illuminate the dark side of life.
In 1987 he participates in the "1st International Poetry Biennial" held in Madrid and two years later he is invited to the "50th Congress of Extremadura Writers" in Zafra (Badajoz).
In his efforts in the direction of the Literary Group Guadiana and Manxa Magazine Vicente Cano departed from Argamasilla de Alba, but his latest book was published and presented in this place.
Vicente died on July 11, 1994, after fighting cancer, leaving a large number of poems and five unpublished works, some ready for printing.
