About this ebook
G. K. Chesterton no necesita presentación en España. Narrador universal, el polemista hace tiempo que resulta difícilencontrarlo en librerías, mientras el poeta apenas está traducido entre nosotros. Sin embargo, su poesía es la puerta de entrada al resto de su obra. Cuando Chesterton necesita explicar su idea del mundo, recurre con frecuencia a sus propios versos y sus dos novelas más reconocidas se inician con sendos poemas introductorios. Chesterton es un poeta vitalista y activo, que canta a Dios, a la naturaleza y a los hombres con optimismo y jovialidad. Como señala Auden, todos sus poemas de amor son un hallazgo. La presente traducción da muestra de todas esas facetas líricas. Ha sido hecha por poetas españoles de muy diversa condición, edad y obra literaria. La poesía de Chesterton, que tiene algo de coral, ha sido interpretada por cada poeta procurando no desentonar del coro.

About the author
Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in London, England, in 1874. He began his education at St Paul's School, and later went on to study art at the Slade School, and literature at University College in London. Chesterton wrote a great deal of poetry, as well as works of social and literary criticism. Among his most notable books are The Man Who Was Thursday, a metaphysical thriller, and The Everlasting Man, a history of humankind's spiritual progress. After Chesterton converted to Catholicism in 1922, he wrote mainly on religious topics. Chesterton is most known for creating the famous priest-detective character Father Brown, who first appeared in "The Innocence of Father Brown." Chesterton died in 1936 at the age of 62.
