Frustrated by the way the Castro régime was using the scholarship students to his political ends, he managed to leave in 1964, after a series of intense experiences on the island, and returned to Lima.
In 1984, he returned to Peru where he met Dutch translator Ingrid Sipkes with whom he formed a family and has three children: Cayetana (1985), Lorenzo (1989) and Ruy (1991).
In 1994 he published "Fata Morgana" and in 1997 he won the national "Arte Nuevo" prize for his play "Cuadrando el Círculo", a comedy which traveled throughout Peru and had an audience of over 75.000 viewers.
In June 2006, "Extensión de la Palabra" was published by Mexican group Aldus, an anthology of his poetry, theater and short stories.
In July 2012, Tribal Editores published "Pararrayos de Dios", a compendium of short chronicles where he describes a series of juicy personal experiences with some reputed deceased Peruvian poet-colleagues.
