Salmos is a work by the Nicaraguan poet Ernesto Cardenal, in which he reinterprets the biblical psalms with a modern language committed to the social and political reality of his time. The book has a prologue by Dorothee Sölle, who highlights the originality and strength of Cardenal's poetic proposal. This edition, published by Editorial Trotta, presents a careful selection of psalms that invite reflection and action.
Ernesto Cardenal Martínez was a Nicaraguan Catholic priest, revolutionary, poet, and politician. He was a liberation theologian and the founder of the primitivist art community in the Solentiname Islands, where he lived for more than ten years (1965–1977). A former member of the Nicaraguan Sandinistas, he was Nicaragua's minister of culture from 1979 to 1987. He was prohibited from administering the sacraments in 1984 by Pope John Paul II, but rehabilitated by Pope Francis in 2019.
