Considered by Rumi to be "the master" of Sufi mystic poetry, Attar
is best known for his epic poem The Conference of the Birds, a
magnificent allegorical tale about the soul's search for meaning.
The poem recounts the perilous journey of the world's birds to the
faraway peaks of Mount Qaf, in search of the mysterious Simurgh,
their king. Attar's beguiling anecdotes and humour intermingle the
sublime with the mundane, the spiritual with the worldly, and the
religious with the metaphysical. Reflecting the entire evolution of
Sufi mystic tradition, Attar's poem models the soul's escape from
the mind's rational embrace. Sholeh Wolpe re-creates the beauty of
the original Persian in contemporary English verse and poetic
prose, capturing for the first time the beauty and timeless wisdom
of Attar's masterpiece for modern readers.
