Lovely translation, deep poetry August 30, 2000
64 out of 65 found this review helpful

I have given this book to at least 10 or 15 people as an introduction to Rumi. It has some of his most captivating poems (including most of my personal favorites), is very affordable and is high quality for a paperback. Rumi afficionados will like this book because it has a few poems I've not found published elsewhere. Rumi's symbolism is deep but this book is more accessible for beginners than others I've found, as the translation is lovely. A great value for the money since it contains many poems in a slim volume---makes a terrific and inexpensive gift.
