His literary work is a valuable contribution to contemporary poetry and exemplifies the power that poetry has to connect us with our deeper humanity.
His lyrical-self offers us testimony of his existence and shows us a universal poetry that embraces the thirst for justice and peace while it raises the flag of love.
