Luz Del Deseo

Marjorie Agosín's intensely personal long poem The Light of Desire is both a secular and sacred meditation on love and its meanings in the land of Israel. ... The poem was written over a four-year span in Jerusalem's Mishkenot Sha'ananim neighborhood, overlooking the wall of the Second Temple, and these hallowed surroundings imbued Agosín's poetic voice. Lori Marie Carlson's sensitive translation maintains the spirit of the original Spanish in this bilingual edition.--Swan Isle Press.
