No es posible comprender la figura y la obra de Thomas Merton sin el conocimiento de su poesía. Merton necesitaba poner voz a lo que no cabe en palabras, y para ese caudal no le bastaba el cauce de la prosa. La relevancia de su poesía radica en que establece un diálogo continuo con el mundo, haciéndose así heredera no solo de la tradición bíblica veterotestamentaria, sino también de una amplia corriente de denuncia. Los poemas de amor y de disidencia de Merton se manifiestan como creación pero también como acción política, como una voz intempestiva y liberadora en sus hipótesis y evocaciones, metáforas y correspondencias. Esta antología bilingüe recoge una amplia selección de los poemas escritos por Merton entre 1940 y 1966, reflejos de la búsqueda de amor redentor que se cuentan, al mismo tiempo, entre los más poderosos instrumentos de subversión.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Thomas Merton

Thomas Merton (1915-1968) is perhaps the most influential American Catholic author of the 20th century. The Seven Storey Mountain It has sold millions of copies and has been translated into more than 15 languages. He has written over 60 books and countless poems and articles, whose themes range from monastic life to non-violence.
After an exuberant youth, Merton graduated in English from Columbia University before entering Gethsemani Abbey, of the Trappist Cistercian Order. He spent 27 years there, and his thinking evolved, leading him to consider the struggle for peace and against racism as the most urgent issues of his era. He became very active in this field, which earned him violent criticism from both Catholics and non-Catholics. At the end of his life, he dedicated himself to promoting the encounter between Western and Eastern religions.
