Latinitas, the official Vatican magazine of Latin literature, says: 

       "Sr. Cabrera wields heroic verse with . . . ease and skill and the same light touch
         as Virgil and Ovid." 

       "The poetic force of the work and its author overwhelm the mind, capture the spirit
          and move the imagination with the flow of verses and the elegance of words."

       ". . . he has become a disciple and an equal of the ancient bards . . . "

       ". . .renders a portrait of the Virgin in such sweet verses that you can hardly tear eyes
                and mind away from the page."  (see Select Passages)

BENITO JUAREZ

In heroic verses the poet celebrates Benito Juarez, the greatest  Mexican president, upholder of the Constitution of 1857, leader in civil war, and defender of the nation against foreign invasion.
