«Poesía» is the poetry collection by San Juan de la Cruz, published by Orbis in 1983 in hardback (207 pages, in Spanish).
It gathers the lyrical output of San Juan de la Cruz, a central figure of 16th-century Spanish mysticism. His religiously inspired poems express the soul's union with the divine through symbols such as the night, the flame and the fountain, within the framework of the Castilian poetry of his time.
It belongs to the History of Spanish Literature collection, number 56, with a preliminary study by Gerald Brenan. Includes bibliography and index.
A reference edition for those interested in Castilian poetry of the Golden Age and in mystical literature.
John of the Cross was a Spanish Catholic priest, mystic, and Carmelite friar. He is a major figure of the Counter-Reformation in Spain, and he is one of the 38 Doctors of the Church.
