Now in paperback, a new translation of the Sufi mystic's verse,
hailed as  authentic" and  exquisite." Championed by icons of
American pop culture such as Madonna, Donna Karan, and Deepak
Chopra, Rumi has won such a following in this country that he was
once proclaimed our bestselling poet. But translations that have
popularized the work of this thirteenth-century Sufi mystic have
also strayed from its essence. In this fresh translation from the
Persian, Farrukh Dhondy seeks to recover both the lyrical beauty
and the spiritual essence of the original verse. In poems of love
and devotion, rapture and suffering, loss and yearning for oneness,
Dhondy has rediscovered the Islamic mystic of spiritual awakening
whose quest is the key to his universal appeal. Here is at once a
great poet of love, both human and divine, and the authentic voice
of a moderate Islam a voice that can resonate in today's
turbulent, fundamentalist times.
