Between resignation and hope, the poetry of the Mexican Carlos Higuera is not at all conventional; fundamentally it is a current writing, both for the use of many terms taken from the colloquial language or invented, and for the formal choices that go from prose to free verse.
  But it is also evident a very strong influence of great Hispanic American writers, especially in thematic and puns; for example the constant presence of death seen not as a tragedy to be feared, but as an element with which we live together every day, with which we have so much confidence that we can even write a manual to fight it, in which it prevails in the first part an irony typical of his poetry (Martha Canfield and Marco Benacci).
