Description & Specifications

It is often said that Rumi (or Jalal al-Din, 1207-73) is now the most popular poet in the United States. This conquest of the new world by a Middle Eastern medieval writer has been achieved with remarkable speed. The key to Rumi's success lies in the spiritual appeal of his work. It combines lyrical beauty with philosophical depth, a sense of euphoria and a keen awareness of human suffering, in ways that speak directly to the modern audience. Like the metaphysical poets, Rumi combines everyday images with complex ideas. He speaks of divine love in a vivid human way. As a religious teacher of the Dervish order, he explains the mystical teachings of Sufism, focusing on the concept of union with the Beloved, to whom many of his poems are addressed. Persian poetry of this period is not easy to translate. To provide the widest possible access to a wonderful poet, this selection draws from various translations from the early 20th century to the present, covering both scholarly renditions and free interpretations.
