About this ebook
In Spain today, Fray Luis de León is esteemed every bit as highly as his “Golden Age” contemporary, St. John of the Cross, yet no complete edition of Fray Luis’s poems translated into English verse has appeared until now.

About the author
Spanish "Golden Age" poet Fray Luis de Leon (1527-1591) spent his adult life as an Augustinian monk and, except for the four years during which he was imprisoned by the Inquisition, a professor at the University of Salamanca. He is the author of significant theological works, notably The Names of Christ, and of the small but profound body of lyric poems translated in this volume. H. L. Hix is a professor in the philosophy and religious studies department and the creative writing program at the University of Wyoming. His previous translations include a "sayings gospel" of words attributed to Jesus, Teacher's Teachings; his other recent books include a testamentary lamenting lives ended by gun violence, American Outrage, and the Vern Rutsala Book Prize-winning poetry collection Constellation.
