Product Description

So begins the irresistible invitation of this exquisite volume - a call from one of the worlds most beloved poets to join him in exploring love, both human and divine, with all its ecstasy, suffering and beauty. Rumi - the Persian mystic who lived and wrote in 13th-century Turkey - has become Americas most widely read poet, and these verses draw on two of the richest symbols in his Sufi tradition: the rose and the rose garden. The rose evokes both a high spiritual state and a visionary ecstasy, while the garden embraces all the worlds glories. Renowned scholar Andrew Harvey and award-winning photographer Lekha Singh have cultivated a fine balance of word and image to bring Rumis lines to life, pairing sumptuous colour images with original translations of his transcendent writings.
