Industry Reviews
"Mr. Nims has worked for a good many years to achieve his style of unremitting brilliance, and it behooves us to look closely at what he is doing....As the translator of San Juan de la Cruz [he provides] a rendering so good that you tend to forget that the poems were ever written in Spanish."
"From Babel to Babylon" - James Dickey

"The excellence of the rendering makes available both the vision and the technical accomplishment of the poet, in a fluent and colloquial English which retains to an astonishing degree the swift-running and ecstatic flow of the original. By keeping his diction direct and colloquial, by being faithful to St. John's attempt to express the 'the highest in terms of the lowest,' Nims has given us the mystic's precise notation in finite terms of difficult and often ineffable modes of feeling."
Saturday Review - Kimon Friar
