He published another volume of poems, Inimi sub săbii ("Hearts under Swords") in 1934, but Jebeleanu's principal literary activity in the 1930s was as a journalist closely allied with the left-wing press.

Most of his postwar poetry deals with the struggle against fascism, the Romanian revolutionary tradition going back to 1848, and championing the new regime's ideology.

[2] He used animal epithets to depict the former elite of the "bourgeois-landlord regime," from politicians to industrialists and kulaks ("she-snakes’ kin"), and foreign enemies, with a place of honor reserved for British and American "imperialists" ("wolves ... lurking with bullet eyes", "afraid of the red flames, the frocked big-bellied bats", "owls loaded with bling bling").

In the same spirit of universal humanism as Surîsul Hiroșimei, his new collection was inspired by a postwar visit to the site of the Czech village of Lidice, which together with its inhabitants was totally destroyed by the Nazis during World War II as an act of revenge.

[7] Although initially a supporter of the regime, he expressed alarm after the July Theses were issued in 1971,[8] and, considered one of the leaders of the liberal wing of the Writers' Union of Romania, was dropped from the Romanian Communist Party's central committee at its 13th Congress in 1984.
