To translate such works, with their passionate, intimate intensity, requires both boldness and delicacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe translator of poetry faces many challenges. As the late poet Timothy Murphy notes in his introduction, she must adhere \"not just to beauty but to truth.\" In these masterful renderings, Rhina P. Espaillat proves her prowess as both poet and translator. Espaillat has lived with these poems since she was a child, having heard them recited by her father. Her deep and loving connection to the sound and substance of these works has brought forth verses-exquisite in their own right-that transmit both the truth and the beauty of St. John's original.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-14312130\"\u003eSt John of the Cross\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiseblood Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.22d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951319090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1951319095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE003000\"\u003eSubjects \u0026amp; Themes | Inspirational \u0026amp; Religious\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiseblood Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44488910635245,"sku":"9781951319090","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_6afe9774-ceb8-4136-b4eb-9a09dd09079b.jpg?v=1700859115","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-spring-that-feeds-the-torrent-poems-by-saint-john-of-the-cross-9781951319090","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
