Recenzje

Young women seek their hidden lovers in a forest. From this thematic coincidence in St. John of the Cross's Cántico espiritual and the Hindu Rāsa Līlā, Gloria Maité Hernández weaves an appreciation of poetry's capacity through sensorial devices to suggest the 'savoring' of divine encounter. Her reading and comparison of texts in Spanish and Sanskrit elucidates the poetry and the dense commentary that accompanies it. I learned from this book, about a poet I thought I knew well, and about a religious and poetic tradition about which I knew very little.
