SOUL OF RUMI: A New Collection Of Ecstatic Poems
by Barks, Coleman
ISBN: 0060604522
Publisher: Harper Collins
This new collection from Rumi's premier translator focuses on the ecstatic experience of human and divine love and their inseparability. Organized in 40 brief sections, the poems cover the breadth of Rumi's themes: silence, emptiness, play, God, grief, sexuality, music, and more. Barks contributes a few introductory paragraphs to each section, a Preface that tells the story of his synchronistic meeting with the writings of Rumi, and an Introduction that tells Rumi's own remarkable story. Now in paper.
