Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In this transcendent collection, Daniel Ladinsky-best known for his gifted and best-selling translations of the great Sufi poet Hafiz-brings together the timeless work of twelve of the world's finest spiritual writers, six from the East and six from the West. Once again Ladinsky reveals his talent for creating inspiring, profound, and playful versions of classic poems for a modern audience. Rumi's joyous, ecstatic love poems; St. Francis's loving observations of nature through the eyes of Catholicism; Kabir's wild, freeing humor that synthesizes Hindu, Muslim, and Christian beliefs; St. Teresa's sensual verse; and the mystical, healing words of Hafiz-these and other spiritual writers considered to be "conduits of the divine" make up this rich and luminous collection of "love poems from God."

Synopsis:

East meets West in this collection of 12 spiritual poems from the translator of "The Gift: Poems by Hafiz."

About the Author

This collection includes poems from Rumi, Rabia, Meister Eckhart, John of the Cross, and a number of other mystics from several religious traditions. I enjoyed the variety of styles being unified be a common spiritual theme. And the translation of the poems felt quite comfortable.
