Jan Motulko’s poetic oeuvre is characterized by specific themes which the author used repeatedly during his life and which reflected major insights of his lyrical subject. The themes were internalized so deeply that they endured in his work contrary to the social-political changes, and thus became his testimony of the constant resonance of his experience. They became profoundly significant despite the time which passed and memories which faded away. Metaphysical constraints, physical transience, ever-present understanding of the politically determined empirical world and tragic historical events contributed to the poet’s theological-philosophical realization which faced all those aspects of life with a literal and imaginative framework. This realization is based on several simultaneous layers which result in a model (construct) that the poet has used in his collections written after 2000. The model integrates the pessimism of old age which motivated him to initiate a self-questioning process and consider the questions of the plausibility of one’s attitudes in a social and literary context. Even though the issue of physical transience is theologically comprehended and understood, there is some concern, fear and uncertainty which still can be felt. The poet tries to hide them behind the reminiscent glosses of his past (childhood and youth of his native region). The places are connected with the category of home and with his relatives who made those places meaningful.

During the years of building a new order after World War II, even in times of anticipation of ideological repression of confession, talented writers stood out from the crowd as a new hope for Slovak Catholic writings. In this context of historical events, the name of a poet who wrote quiet and condensed lines resonated: Ján Motulko. Ján Motulko, a thoughtful intellectual and introvert, created a certain correlating relationship and bond with modern Catholic poets of his era, mainly through his poetry (in its themes, poetic style, confessions, etc.). However, for his entire life he vehemently denied any affiliation with Slovak Catholic modern literary groups. Literary critics noticed his connection with them, but due to the nuances of the period, their commentaries were first considered too universal and then labelled as a socially undesirable. After the Velvet Revolution in November 1989, they were often formulated only based on an explicitly specified analogy. Only a small part of them was based on an effort at rehabilitation and republishing of Motulko's work from original text analysis, and did not just copy dictionary and encyclopaedic portrait formulations.
