London England: Hutchinson, London. Paperback. The Place Within. The Poetry of Pope John Paul II. Foxing to end inside covers. Slight browning to edges of pages through age. Translated by Jerzy Peterkiewicz.. These are the Collected Poems of Pope John Paul II in the only authorised translation. Karol Wojtyla, the future Pope, wrote throughout his adult life, while he was a worker, a student, a priest, and a bishop and his verse reflects the concerns of a man with a spiritual mission in a country that came under Communist control after the war. This collection represents all of the poems written by him between 1939 and 1978, in a translation by Jerzy Peterkiewicz. Lyrical and often allegorical, this book demonstrates Wojtyla's development both as a man of God and as an artist. 197 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
