More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This is a book of newly-translated Rumi poems, by the pre-eminent Rumi poet Coleman Barks, to celebrate Rumi's 800th birthday in 2007, the Year of Rumi. The book will have 90 new poems, 82 of them never-before published in any form. Rumi's poetry, in addition to bridging cultures and religions, serves as a bridge to carry the reader into the interior silence and joy of the soul. His poems bridge the gap between conscious knowing and soul-deep understanding, bringing the reader into wholeness through the joy of his words; they are a bridge between the mystery of being human and the mystery of the divine - the Soul Bridge.
About the Author
Coleman Barks is a renowned poet and the bestselling author of The Essential Rumi, The Soul of Rumi, Rumi: The Book of Love, and The Drowned Book. He taught English and poetry at the University of Georgia for thirty years, and he now focuses on writing, readings, and performances.

This moving selection of poetry was the perfect gift for some newly married friends of mine; they loved it. The poetry is subtle yet extremely poignant, and brings to life the metaphors Rumi used so many years ago. The words and sentiments seem just as fresh and new now as they ever were, and I am now a huge fan who will be geoing my collection of Rumi's work. In a word, beautiful.

Highly Recomend this book. Wonderfully written enjoyed reading very much. Read it slowly , dont rush ....... take time to savour what is written and think about it let your imagination take you to wonderful places. I found to be very relaxing thought prevoking reading, but thats just me!!! I loved the blue cover design too. I have several rumi books, but this has to be a favourite choice. I am known for talking a lot and writing alot but in this instance the writing and quality speaks for its self.

The best of Sufi poetry - a must read. Rumi's poems still carry weight today and moreover, serve as a reminder that simplicity matters most.
