Pluriverse

"Pluriverse: New and Selected Poems is the most extensive compilation of poems in English by Ernesto Cardenal. Follow Cardenal's poetic development across six decades, from the early exterioristno poems and romantic epigrams of the early 1950s, to the increasingly spiritually and politically engaged verse he wrote as priest and activist - including his classic revolutionary documentary poem "Zero Hour" - to the shorter victory and ecology poems and the elegies to fallen Sandinistas, to the cosmic-mystical-scientific dimensions of his later work. "Here they are-," editor Jonathan Cohen writes in his Introduction, "to gladden your heart and enrich your soul.""--BOOK JACKET.
