Reviews
“Kenneth Canatsey has produced a bilingual collection of the poetry of one of the greatest lyric poets of the Spanish language….Canatsey has preserved the essential elements of the poet’s longing for God and the description of union with the divine essence as developed in his poetry. He has also transferred the beautiful metaphors, the astounding images and symbols, as well as the graceful cadences of Spanish poetry into English that is not only faithful to the original, but is in its own right sublime yet easy to read poetry.” – Dr. Angelo DiSalvo, Indiana State University
