 After completing his studies in San José, he studied in the University of Texas at Austin and subsequently worked as an Engineer and Geologist.He is regarded as one of the "Promoción del 50", a group of 1950's poets, mainly from the Academia Universitaria and the Faculty of Philosophy in Asunción who wrote socially engaged poetry during Alfredo Stroessner's dictatorship (1954–1989).His poem, ERA EL MES DE NIZAM..., should perhaps be read in that light.
