The figure of Jesus in Concha Urquiza and Gloria Riestra’s poetry have nuance of meanings. While in the first prevails the Gospel’s alive, the beloved of the Cantar de los Cantares, the Shepherd of the sinoptics, the God’s son of John and Saint Buenaventura, what it prevails in the second poetess is God as Trinity, like meister Echkhart maintains.
