[Eileen · Rating 3 out of 5]

© 1989. A collection of poetry excerpts from the Beguine movement in northern Europe newly translated and with an informative introduction including the history. The translator attempts to convey some of the poetic language used in the original languages. Very interesting, some inspiring, others difficult to understand (but of course they are trying to describe the ineffable).
