Su estilo es rico en imágenes vivas y sugerentes, con una estética que nos remite tanto a paisajes orientales como a cuentos de hadas sirviéndose de una métrica precisa y un léxico altamente evocador. Escrito durante su estancia en Chile, Azul marcó la madurez personal y literaria del autor y lo dio a conocer en todo el mundo.
