The Essential Rumi; New Expanded Edition
by Coleman Barks, Reynold Nicholson, A. J. Arberry, John Moyne (Translators)
The ecstatic, spiritual poetry of thirteenth-century Sufi mystic Rumi has enchanted the world, and doubtless its appeal is due to its unique blend of beauty, insight, wit, daring and depth. Coleman Barks, through his musical and magical translations, has been instrumental in bringing this exquisite literature to a remarkably wide range of literary and spiritual readers, lovers, and seekers. With the addition of over eighty never-before-published poems and a new introduction by Barks, The Essential Rumi is clearly the definitive collection of Rumi's delightful poetry.
