In this volume they are translated into the idiom of our own time by poets Joan Larkin and Jaime Manrique. Some of them are rooted in Renaissance courtly conventions; others are startlingly ahead of their time, seemingly modern in the naked power of the complex sexual feelings they address.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoan Larkin has published the poetry collections \u003ci\u003eHousework\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Long Sound\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCold River\u003c\/i\u003e.
