Erotically charged, initially scandalous, his mystical poetry engages with the journey of the soul through the darkest trenches of suffering and despair toward an enlightened spiritual connection with God. For hundreds of years, these poems have resonated deeply with those who search for meaning in the dark, and have influenced generations of poets, artists, and philosophers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bilingual edition of the \u003cem\u003eComplete Poems\u003c\/em\u003e--including \"Dark Night\" and both the Sanl昱ar and Ja駭 manuscripts of \"Spiritual Canticle\"--presents an intimate and exceptionally collaborative new translation from Mar僘 Baranda and Paul Hoover. Baranda, one of the most distinguished Mexican poets of her generation, lends her deft hand with expansive, meditative poetry. Hoover--the accomplished American poet, editor, and translator--offers his dexterity with form and the possibilities of language. The product is uniquely faithful to image and idea, and loyal to the ecstatic lyricism of this canonical text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA volume that hums with the soul's longing to find solace, \u003cem\u003eThe Complete Poems of San Juan de la Cruz \u003c\/em\u003eis a collection to be treasured. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mar僘 Baranda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1571314911\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571314918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Milkweed Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/21\/2021","brand":"Mar僘 Baranda","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049174921471,"sku":"9781571314918","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f58ebf99-6fe4-48cf-9b4b-20c6c6ef6f78.jpg?v=1685000070","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-complete-poems-of-san-mara-baranda-9781571314918","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
