"St. John of the Cross lived a monastic and ascetic life, believing
this was the best way to combat the evils of the world, the flesh,
and the Devil, and to focus on God alone. The Ascent of Mount
Carmel, which he began composing after his escape from prison, is
the story of the loneliness and suffering of the soul before its
reunion with God. Included in this volume is not only the
relatively brief poemonly eight stanzas longbut the poets own
stanza-by-stanza, line-by-line, and verse-by-verse deconstruction
as well. Divided into three books (and a grand total of 91
chapters), The Ascent of Mount Carmel also contains footnotes to
verses of scripture referred to in the poem. Spanish mystic and
poet ST. JOHN OF THE CROSS (15421591) played a major role in the
Catholic Reformation of the 16th century, and produced several
renowned writings, including his Spiritual Canticle, The Dark Night
of the Soul, and Sayings of Love and Peace."
