Rumi is best known for his poems expressing the ecstasies and mysteries of love of all kinds—erotic, divine, friendship—and Coleman barks collects here the best of those poems, ranging from the “wholeness” one experiences with a true lover, to the grief of a lover’s loss, and all the states in between: from the madness of sudden love to the shifting of a romance to deep friendship poems cover all “the magnificent regions of the heart.” in Coleman barks’s delightful and wise renderings, these poems will open your heart and soul to the lovers inside and out.
