 Hundreds of Cadets and Nationalists, among them Corretjer, were arrested by mid-November 1950, and the party was never the same.The themes and inspiration for his poems and essays were devoted to his defense of his native land.Corretjer's epic poem "Alabanza en la Torre de Ciales" (Praise in the tower of Ciales) (1953), is considered one of the representative works of the ""neocriollismo"" movement and has had a strong influence on many later poets.
