The white dove

"This collection of poetry celebrates the life of the Jesuit missionary Eusebio Kino, who arrived in New Spain in 1681 and who founded the San Xavier del Bac Mission near Tucson. The poet tells Father Kino’s story from his own perspective from his beginnings in Italy (1645) until his death in 1711. The collection is a bilingual edition with facing-page Spanish translation of the original English poems."--Publisher's website.
