Some critics, such as Régis Bonvicino, author of "The Poetry of the Improbable Americas", [2] are considered Ronald one of the best Brazilian poets of later generations. [3] His poems have been published in international literary journals such as Callaloo magazine: Brazilian African Literature: The U.S. special issue (1995), translated into English and into the German in the journal Zeitschrift für Dichtungsring Literature, among others.
