Work

Different themes (religious, loving, social) and different styles (poetry, dramatic, lyrical, and prose) are evident in his masterful work that begins in Habana in 1913 with No Desterro and it will continue until the end of his days with gems like: Vento Mareiro (1915), Da Terra Asoballada (1917), O Bendito San Amaro (1926), Na Noite Estrelecida (1926), A Rosa de Cen Follas (1927), Camiños No Tempo (1949), Da Miña Zanfona (1954), Versos de Alleas Terras e Tempos Idos(1955) y Samos (1958).
