Synopsis
San Juan de la Cruz, the great sixteenth-century Spanish mystic, is regarded by many as Spain's finest poet. Passionate, ecstatic, and spiritual, his poems are a blend of exquisite lyricism and profound mystical thought. In The Poems of St. John of the Cross John Frederick Nims presents his superlative translation of the complete poems, re-creating the religious fervor of St. John's art.
This dual-language edition makes available the original Spanish from the Codex of Sanlúcon de Barrameda with facing English translations. The work concludes with two essays—a critique of the poetry and a short piece on the Spanish text that appears alongside the translation—as well as brief notes on the individual poems.

Review
"Roy Campbell has recreated the extraorinary subtlety of the music of the original in an English verse worthy of it, and that climbs from aspiration to ecstasy as if it were itself the poem" (Guardian)
Book Description
Lavishly praised by Jorge Luis Borges, Roy Campbell's translation of the poems by St John of Cross, a 16th-century Spanish monk and one of the great lyrical mystics, stands as the definitive English edition.
