"Achieving Ángel Darío Carrero, in these transcreations century mystic Angelus Silesius S. XVII, is forging an unusual dialogue with what lies deep in life. How rare is found in the twenty-first century one, so utterly convincing and distilled spiritual poetry so immediate. More than just a dictionary, Ángel Darío Silesius renews, replaces what, from a mechanical approach might seem outdated wrap didacticism, with the freshness of knowledge and passion. When debugging, to give each sentence a space of respite, and to ensure a direct responsibility in the face to face with the divine, Carrero makes the reader experience to Silesius as a personal reality. "The poetry of a nation, or language or culture," writes Eliot Weinberger, "is always transformed when translated poets, bringing news from overseas, cooling the gene pool." Ángel Darío has certainly achieved this same role in expanding the footprint Restlessness what poetry can be for the twenty-first century. "
Peter Boyle (Australian poet)

"With great success, Ángel Darío has dispensed with the rigidity of the Alexandrine couplets of the original to give the text a more subtle form. The sublime message of the author identifies with the search, the translator of the blanks, silence, pursued by the new poetic setting. The test was delicate, but has been well resolved. The translator alters the way, the music preserves, interprets the contents gently, reaching a result that saves what we recognize as the spirit of the poetic text. "
Antonio Colinas (Spanish poet)

"Ángel Darío Carrero advocates a literariness that discerning philologists consider questionable, but interested readers will appreciate the poetic language ... The book also has a merit that no one can deny: the inclusion of a wide range of events that give account the varying fortunes of his not always unambiguous responsiveness. "
Jaime Siles (Spanish philologist and poet)
