Enrique Lihn refers to the low coverage of the work of Carlos in the following words: "The poetry of Charles of Rokha is one that would leave historiara gainful if, indeed, the whole of our literature. With its own characteristics and distinct from the work recorded Rokha all-expressive formal concerns that have contributed to the development of a small but brilliant literary tradition."
