Synopsis
In the early 13th century, Jalauddin Rumi was already an accomplished scholar when he encountered a visiting dervish who changed his life. After a spiritual reckoning, Rumi began writing mystic poems that celebrate an intimate relationship with the holy. Here, Barks, the poet and translator largely responsible for Rumi's rather amazing late-20th-century American popularity, offers a selection of his most vivid and ecstatic poems.

Industry Reviews
"Perhaps the world's greatest spiritual poet--the gold of Rumi pours down through Coleman's words. The words leap off the page and dance."
Publisher's Catalog - Jack Kornfield
"If Rumi is the most-read poet in America today, Coleman Barks is in good part responsible. His ear for the...divine madness in Rumi's poetry is truly remarkable."
Publisher's Catalog - Huston Smith
"In this...delightful treasury, Barks sparklingly demonstrates once again why his free-form interpretations of [Rumi's] poetry...have been a major impetus for the current Rumi vogue."
