La vida de cada santo es una poema ejemplar, luminoso, irrepetible cuyo verso final lo pone el abrazo de Dios. Es precisamente la santidad humana el paisaje en que se detienen las poesías de este libro como en un locus amoenus en medio del trasiego febril y materialista de nuestro tiempo. En manos de Matesanz, la semblanza de cada santo sale de las hornacinas que a veces los acartonan para devolverles su temblor humano, la vívida realidad espiritual que envolvió su existencia. (...) La lectura de estos poemas afianza una convicción poderosa: que la poesía es un instrumento de evangelización, una luz con dos haces: uno dirigido al creyente y otro, de más alcance, al no creyente. Como los faros de un coche. Las luces cortas, las de cruce, iluminan al creyente sobre algunos aspectos de la verdad evangélica en los que no había reparado y que pueden servirle de meditación e incluso de oración. Las luces largas, las de carretera, aspiran a llegar al no creyente y deslumbrarlo como a Saulo en el camino de Damasco, hacerlo caer dulcemente... (De Daniel Cotta, en el prólogo) 10

  • Polishing the Silver
    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
