Pinurbo’s poetry is immediately recognizable for its simple language,
accessibility, and the recurrent use of a number of specific but unusual
motifs. His poems deal with a wide range of interpersonal relationships, with
figures who engage in prosaic narratives that are deeply ironic, full of dark
humor, and interwoven with nostalgia.
