St. Teresa walked a path of grace, seeking the divine within the human soul, and her poetry lights this path for all of us. This is the first translation of St. Teresa's poetry by a woman poet and captures the saint's spiritual vigor and famously conversational tone in English. That voice is echoed in well-researched commentary strengthened by the translator's willingness to share her spiritual journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67390658314285,"sku":"WHS-e56c3e138a004df597db47cd05066006","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_243d684a-48a2-479a-a7d0-facce55db0ba.jpg?v=1787345911","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/sweet-hunter-the-complete-poems-of-st-teresa-of-avila-bilingual-edition-1","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
