Work[]
In 1952 he founded the literary magazine with his brother. Then in 1956 he and his associates declared the beginning of a movement. Since then he has had a number of collections and honors.

Four of his holographic poems in cooperation with the holographer Moysés Baumstein were included in the exhibitions TRILUZ (1986) and IDEHOLOGIA (1987). A "videoclippoem", O PULSAR, with music by Caetano Veloso, was produced in 1984 at an Intergraph high resolution computer station.
