The poetry of Aurelio González Ovies has recently been the object of study at the University of Oviedo in a Doctoral Thesis, developed by Sara María Bárcena de Cuendias and directed by Antonio Fernandez Insuela. The author of the first thesis on the Asturian poet explains that "his poetry serves to him to vindicate the free poet, against the tide, out of tune in the best sense of the word".

He is also a regular contributor to Asturian newspapers, currently writes a biweekly article, in a poetic tone, for La Nueva España. Since "his poetry is simple (it should be known that poetic simplicity is a gift, there is no grammar course to access to it) and deep; his verses come to the common reader, the reader from every day, and also, of course, the knowledgeable reader form, musicality, style, originality, and the message of the word ".
