Product Description
A breathtaking never before translated collection of poems by Rumi, one of the world's most mystical teachers. These gorgeous, contemporary new translations combined with gorgeous full color images speak directly to us now. The poems are grouped thematically, and explore the intricacies of love, longing, and the quest for truth and joy with mystical splendor.
Reader Reviews
Rumi, a 13th century Sufi poet, writes of love in the Sufi sense - that is to say, love to the divine, and a recognition of the divine in all things - in a rooftop, a cup, dust. On another level, Rumi also writes of the nature of love - uttery surrendering yourself, giving yourself over completely. The collection of poems here are wonderful, in a beautiful translation. The art included is also beautiful, although they are by one of the translators and not by Rumi himself, as another reviewer thought. The book, in short is a thing of beauty - as love is. Highly recommended.
