Sensual and evocative, Cruz displays a wide range of themes from urban nature to pop culture and from protests to erotica. Cruz is surely the Haiku voice of Elder Millennial culture and will become an essential part of Haiku literature in the years to come. Cruz knows the tradition of haiku and pushes the boundaries of it by incorporating new images that other poets seldom walk with. Using straightforward and simple language, Cruz moves the reader through their poetry to arrive at the images and emotions that they invoke.
