As part of his contribution to Wikipedia, Alcántara F. wrote the theological essay entitled “Omnientheism: GOD According to Biblical Universalist Unitarianism.” Lately he is experiencing the insightful roots of Omni-Poetry as a valid artistic movement that leads to an avant-garde relationship between the writer and reader as proactive agents in an innovative holistic Poetics. A paradigmatic example of the new approach can be found in his short-story “The Ineffable Death”. Un ejemplo paradigmático del nuevo acercamiento poético puede apreciarse en su cuento “La Muerte Inefable” (Honor Mention at Casa de Teatro (House of Theater) en 1997). For some literary critics, as it is the case of the San Cristóbal intellectual Teddy Brito, his best short-stories are “Círculos Concéntricos” (“Concentric Circles”), First Prize at Sociedad Cultural Alianza Cibaeña (Cibao Alliance Cultural Society) in November, 1990, and “La Muerte Inefable” (“The Ineffable Death”), Honor Mention at Concurso de Cuentos de Casa de Teatro (Casa de Teatro Short-Story Contest) in July, 1997.
