Il peso di carne dell’eternità
| Summary: | The rational and spiritual instance of critical confrontation with the creeds historically handed down is combined in the work of J.T. Mendonça, profoundly Christian but not confessionally identifiable as a religious poet, with a poetic word that rises like a prophetic force against the epistemic and social idolatries that enslave our time. The article analyzes the image of God in Mendonça’s verses, where he does not appear as a vision, but rather as a “ashen voice”, a fire that burns away lies and leads us to the vulnerable nakedness of truth. |
