Summary: "Ernesto Cardenal, the Nicaraguan poet/priest and former Sandinista Minister of Culture, has become widely known throughout the world, and despite past U.S. government attempts to limit his personal influence by denying him visas to tour this country, his popularity here is particularly strong. That his work has struck a chord of familiarity in North America is in part due to his deep bond with its culture. It is this bond that 'allows translations of his poetry to achieve an almost eerie naturalness in English.' Ernesto Cardenal studied literature in the United States at Columbia University in New York and for a time was a novice of the popular priest, Thomas Merton, in Gethsemani, Kentucky." -- from the introduction.
