Through lyrical translations, Coleman Barks brings Rumi’s exquisite literature to life. Surreal & spiritual poetry of the 13th century Persian Sufi Mystic Rumi. Like mystic Sufi poets of Persian literature, Rumi’s poetry speaks of peace, faith & universal love which infuses the world. Rumi believed passionately in the use of music, poetry & dance as a path for reaching the divine. It was from these ideas that the practice of whirling Dervishes developed into a ritual form. Rumi’s poetry is divided into categories – the quatrains (rubayāt), odes (ghazal) of the Divan, 6 books of the Masnavi. The prose works are divided into The Discourses, The Letters & the Seven Sermons.
The Essential Rumi is a definitive selection of the most beautiful, meaningful, awe-inspiring poetry on the essence of life.
