Synopsis
From the renowned translator of "The Gift" comes a rich collection that brings the great Sufi poet to Western readers., Daniel Ladinsky's unforgettable lyrical poems are inspired by the cherished verse of Hafiz, one of the greatest Sufi poets of all time. To Persians, the poems of Hafiz are not "classical literature" from a remote past but cherished wisdom from a dear and intimate friend that continues to be quoted in daily life. With uncanny insight, Hafiz captures the many forms and stages of love. His poetry outlines the stages of the mystic's "path of love"--a journey in which love dissolves personal boundaries and limitations to join larger processes of growth and transformation. Once again, Ladinsky reveals his talent for culling the essence of classic poetry for a modern audience. Ladinsky's poems are not translations in a literal sense. Rather than capture the form of a particular classical work, Ladinsky's aim is to craft poems that release the spirit of Hafiz., From the renowned translator of The Gift , a rich collection that brings the great Sufi poet Hafiz to Western readers To Persians, the poems of Hafiz are not "classical literature" from a remote past but cherished wisdom from a dear and intimate friend that continues to be quoted in daily life. With uncanny insight, Hafiz captures the many forms and stages of love. His poetry outlines the stages of the mystic's "path of love"--a journey in which love dissolves personal boundaries and limitations to join larger processes of growth and transformation. With this stunning collection, Ladinsky has succeeded brilliantly in translating the essence of one of Islam's greatest poetic and spiritual voices.
