Ses œuvres sont reconnues pour leur popularité dans les écoles et leur approche conviviale. Bien qu'elle ait reçu de nombreuses distinctions, son mérite littéraire réside dans son engagement distinctif envers les questions sociales contemporaines. Sa poésie offre un regard pénétrant sur le monde qui nous entoure.
