In his third book of poetry, he explored his Cuban heritage in his early works and his role as a gay man in Cuban-American culture in Looking for the Gulf Motel (2012). He explained: “It’s trying to understand how I fit between negotiating the world, between being mainstream gay and being Cuban gay.” In the poem “Queer Theory, According to My Grandmother,” he described how his grandmother warned him as a young boy: “For God’s sake, never pee sitting down … /I’ve seen you” and “Don’t stare at The Six-Million-Dollar Man./I’ve seen you.” and “Never dance alone in your room.” According to Time magazine, he “views the more conservative, hard-line exile cohort of his parents’ generation … with a skeptical eye.” John Dolan was critical of his style, calling his work “pure identity poetics, unsullied by one single stray thought or original turn of phrase.”
