Rumi

Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks, gathers the finest love poems from the thirteenth-century Persian mystic who remains one of the world's most widely read poets. These selections explore every dimension of love: the ecstasy of union, the ache of separation, the warmth of deep friendship, and the longing for the divine. Barks brings Rumi's words into vivid, contemporary English while preserving their spiritual intensity and emotional truth. This collection is a beautiful entry point for newcomers and a cherished volume for devoted readers of mystical poetry and Sufi literature.
