Poems of St. John of the Cross

"The excellence of the rendering makes available both the vision and the technical accomplishment of the poet, in a fluent and colloquial English which retains to an astonishing degree the swift-running and ecstatic flow of the original. By keeping his diction direct and colloquial, by being faithful to St. John's attempt to express the 'the highest in terms of the lowest,' Nims has given us the mystic's precise notation in finite terms of difficult and often ineffable modes of feeling."Nims, John F. is the author of 'Poems of St. John of the Cross' with ISBN 9780226401102 and ISBN 0226401103.
