In Limestone Moon Olivia Maciel interrogates the inexpressible. Metaphor reaches into a realm of light and darkness to mysteriously converse with the silence enveloping the word. The tinging of this dark light which transcends borders, reveals a vehement and genuine interior, impregnated by the seed of the dream. With almost religious intensity, the poems yield a rare fruit, whose taste evokes the ineffable.

Filigrana Encendida / Filigree of Light

Bursztyn, Dan

En los poemas de Olivia Maciel hay un palpable sentir de travesía, donde con cada paso, con cada poema, uno se adentra en el mundo lírico de los sentidos, del intelecto, de la imaginación. A lo largo de este sendero lírico, uno encuentra lugares y personajes, entre claroscuros de sombra y luz – lo sensual, lo nocturno, fragancias, una paleta de colores, sabor de frutos, de amor, de la vida misma. Lo escuchamos en el sinestésico ámbito de flores y flamas, lo escuchamos en los silencios y en las exclamaciones de gozo, en poemas que poseen la textura y el sabor de una pintura en cada pincelada, como si fuera en nuestra propia piel. A lo largo de este espontáneo, frecuentemente inesperado sendero el lector encuentra diálogos con poetas, artistas, filósofos, ángeles, y lo Divino. Dentro de esa expresión poética acontecen siempre un audaz cuestionamiento, curiosidad, sin embargo con el reconocimiento de lo trascendente, de lo inefable. Cielo de Magnolias, Cielo de Silencios es una travesía mística que nos recuerda a lo que se encuentra cerca y sin embargo invisible, que lo que se encuentra cerca es frecuentemente objeto de negligencia y olvido, y que lo que es interno y externo en el curso de nuestras vidas, también participa de lo eterno. In the poems of Olivia Maciel there is a palpable sense of journey and brave exploration, where with each step, with each poem, one enters a lyrical world of the senses, the intellect, imagination. Along the lyrical path one encounters places and people among shadows and light—the sensual, the nocturnal, fragrances, a palette of colors, tastes of fruit, of love, of life itself. We hear it in the synesthetic realms of flowers and flames; we hear it in silences and cries of joy, in poems that have a taste and often the feel of a painting in each brushstroke, as if on our own skin. Along this often spontaneous, unexpected path the reader encounters dialogues with poets, artists, philosophers, angels, and the Divine. Within that poetic expression, there always is a sense of bold questioning, curiosity, yet with recognition of the transcendent, unknowable. Cielo de Magnolias, Cielo de Silencios is a mystical journey that reminds us of what is close yet not really seen, that what is near is often neglected or forgotten, and that which is internal and external in the course of our lives, also partakes of the eternal.
