He published his poetry mainly in the period following the creation of his magazine Watapana (1968–1972). Most of his poems he writes in the Papiamento language, occasionally in Spanish and Dutch.

In 1985 he received his PhD at the University of Leiden on the study El compromiso en la poesía afro-antillana de Cuba y Puerto Rico, that as its main subject treated Nicolás Guillén and other poets. He also published studies on the work of Pierre Lauffer, JS Corsen and Luis Daal. Reviews he wrote for the Antillian newspapers Amigoe di Curacao and Beurs- en Nieuwsberichten (1986–1997). Henry Habib is a member of the advisory board of the Werkgroep Caraïbische Letteren (Caribbean Study group of Arts) of the Maatschappij der Nederlandse Letterkunde (Society of Dutch Literature) in Leiden.
