The Psalms, the most famous work of Ernesto Cardenal, have lost none of their relevance or brilliance: from the creative tension between the existing reality that needs to be changed and the vision of a human world for humanity arises the richness and breadth of the poetry of the priest from Solentiname. The Psalms powerfully indict injustice, oppression, and lies. They relentlessly depict the alienation and dehumanization of society that lead to the destruction of the world - in this regard, they are as poignant today as they were upon their first appearance in the 1960s.
