This extraordinary collection of poems--covering thirty centuries
of poetry from around the world--celebrates the erotic spirit in
all its forms, from the passion of sexual desire to the intense
longing for spiritual union. Beginning with anonymous Egyptian love
songs from the fifteenth century BCE and continuing up to today's
finest poets, the book draws on a broad range of cultural and
spiritual traditions, including ancient Greek and Roman erotic
poems, ecstatic Sufi songs, Chinese elegies for lost lovers, and
bawdy English satires. Many of the poems are presented here in new
translations by the editor, Sam Hamill, one of America's premier
poet translators.
