 Fr. Gilbert Luis R.
Centina III
Our Hidden Galaxette Paperback – May 21, 2013
Works - Our Hidden Galaxette, now on its second edition, is the first book of poetry written by prize-winning
author Gilbert Luis R. Centina III.
- Cloistered within this seminal volume are hymns of praise of "nobler geometries," jeremiads against
the "gilt nihility" of contemporary society, epistles to friends turning and turning "in a spin of
madness," tragic observations on "lichens feasting on purple robes." In this lyric cloister, Teilhard de
Chardin walks with Saint Genet. With the latter, he does not see synoptic, being Genet's advocatus
diaboli while expressing a wish to be Chardin's disciple. This is a type of Christian literature sans the
megalophones of Blay, the mystic ecstasies of St. John of the Cross or the pastoral paeans of Gerard
Manley Hopkins but endowed with a tremulous lyricism which is entirely its own.
