He is currently the Editor-in-chief of the literary-philosophical quarterly journal Debats.

In his book of poetry Música junto al río (Music by the River, 2001), he uses a dialectal Valencian-Aragonese from the region of his parents. His book La piedra ente la ñeve (The Stone in the Snow, 2010) is notable as the first Latter-day Saint-related book published in Asturian and the first to use the Deseret alphabet for a language other than English.[2] He has also published a translation of aphorisms from the Asturian into the Spanish language (Ene marginalia, 2003).
