“Christmas is Navidad,” my essay about Christmas in the Catholic Hispanic world and how its specific images have inspired Spanish and Latin American poets, appears in the December print issue of The Linnet’s Wings. It includes several Christmas poems in Spanish of San Juan de la Cruz (1542-1591); Lope de Vega (1562-1635) Juan Ramon Jiménez (1881-1958); Gerardo Diego (1896-1987); Luis Rosales (1910-1992); Rubén Darío (1867-1916) and Amado Nervo(1870-1919) and my translation into English.
