In Cuba, he continued his studies of education and began to publish poetry in the city of his birth. In 1913, Brull graduated from the University of Havana with a Doctor of Laws degree.

[edit] Literary Characteristics
Brull wrote poetry in Spanish as well as French. As a poet, he was heavily influenced by his French contemporaries due to his long residence in Paris.
Marked by the notion of poesía pura (pure poetry), his poetry represents this hallmark of the vanguard movement of literature in the Spanish-speaking world. Much of his work was also heavily-characterized by large amounts of word manipulation involving substitution and invention.
