Editorial Reviews

Review

A set of maxims...that express universal truths where the mundane, the sacred and the divine are intertwined to reach the ultimate goal of life which is God. ❖ Un conjunto de máximas...que expresan verdades generales del mundo donde lo mundano, lo sagrado y lo divino van entrelazándose para llegar a la ultima meta de la vida que es Dios. --- Josemaría Alonso de Linaje, Spanish author and academician

It is an invitation to hope, to love and to be loved. Through these closely related themes, we are discovering the key to love with joy. That key is very important and we use it to convey the message. ❖ Es una invitación a la esperanza, a amar y ser amados. A través de los temas cercanos nos va descubriendo la clave para ser felices amando. Esa llave que es tan importante y que utilizamos para transmitir el mensaje. --- Ana Maria Romo de Miguel, Spanish editor and educator

For the poet, life fully lived is always an exile, which means discarding his old self to become another self, otherwise it is neither an exile nor is he a poet. ❖ El exilio del poeta es un exilio de sí mismo, un exilio hacia el otro, y si no no es exilio, ni es poeta. --- Antonio Aguirre, Spanish poet

The art of poetry and writing has made us invincible, therefore victorious, in our personal lives. ❖ El arte de la poesia y de la escritura que nos hace invencibles, victoriosos y triunfadores por lo tanto, en nuestras respectivas vidas particulares. --- Guillermo Gómez Rivera, Filipino author and academic director of the Academia Filipina de la Lengua Española of the Real Academia Española

The verses are meant to reflect both universal truths and religious reflections in the course of examining life, offering nuggets of succinct, thought-provoking inspections that poetry readers will find both spiritually rich and deeply evocative. - Diane Donovan, senior reviewer, Midwest Book Review.

Gilbert Luis R. Centina III (May 19, 1947 - May 1, 2020) was a respected Catholic author, poet, and priest. He held an M.A. in Comparative Literature from the University of the Philippines and a Licentiate in Sacred Theology from the University of Santo Tomás which formed the foundation of his literary genius. Centina's repertoire included two novels, nine poetry collections, and literary criticism, showcasing his diverse talents. He wrote in English, Spanish, Hiligaynon, and Tagalog, demonstrating his linguistic prowess and cultural fluency.

In addition to his writing, Centina made a significant impact as a professorial lecturer and dedicated pastor. He taught literature and shared profound insights with students, leaving an indelible mark on their intellectual growth. He shaped numerous books and publications as an editor, further contributing to the literary community. Centina's influence extended beyond academia and writing as he served as a chaplain and later as a pastor in the Philippines and New York.

Centina's exceptional contributions to literature were recognized through prestigious awards, including the Philippines' most notable literary honor, a Palanca Prize in English poetry in 1974. In 1998, he received the Catholic Authors Award from the Asian Catholic Publishers and the Archdiocese of Manila under Jaime Cardinal Sin. Even after his passing from complications due to Covid-19 while living in Spain, his impact endured, and he was posthumously honored with the Premio José Rizal de las letras Filipinas in 2020.

Gilbert Luis R. Centina III's profound literary legacy inspires readers worldwide, transcending languages, cultures, and generations. His mastery of multiple languages, academic accomplishments, and distinguished awards reflect his unwavering dedication to the craft and faith as a priest.

Robert Sage
5.0 out of 5 stars Deeply spiritual
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2021
Verified Purchase
Diptych is a deeply spiritual and philosophical poetry collection. The imageries are empathetic and sympathetic to the common sufferings that humanity endures as it journeys through life. The author's monastic background as an Augustinian friar reveals itself in the Catholic theology that emerges from many of the poems included in this collection. The illustrations and photographs of the sculptures of Spanish Basque artist Vicente Jáuregui enhance the reader's appreciation of the artistry contained in this bilingual book.
