The Love Poems of Rumi
Harmony

Elegant, Sacredly Sensual - This one is a Keeper Squared
Wow. I sat reading this elegantly slim volume in my local Barnes and Noble and I am surprised I didn't float away in ecstacy. I felt completely engulfed in spiritual inspiration, I felt transfixed by a sacred sensuality - and all this while sitting in the children's ...

The pleasurable pain of Love
I greatly enjoy the poetry of Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi. His poems move me to action -- they put a smile on my face -- bring a sigh to my heart. I have at least half a dozen if not more books by the Mevlana. Of all these books, this is perhaps one of my favourites. Many ...
A Year with Rumi: Daily Readings
Coleman Barks
HarperOne
, 2006
Speaking across many centuries
Coleman Barks is a poet, and his treatments of Rumi bring that poetry into a contemporary context. Like everything that is not pure science, these things are, of course, matters of taste. I am not a Farsi scholar or speaker, but as I understand it - and this is fairly ...
The Soul of Rumi: A New Collection of Ecstatic Poems
Coleman Barks
HarperOne
, 2002
Amazing!
I find it absolutely amazing that those who claim to be admirers of Rumi, online reviewers and editorial reviewers, do NOT even know where he was born! Persia, not Afghanistan, was his birthplace. Afghanistan did not even exist until the 19th century, thanks to the ...
One Song: A New Illuminated Rumi
Michael Green
Running Press
, 2005
Ingaging
The CD in the back of this book is worth the cost. The graphics are ingaging and imaginative. The poems of Rumi are inspiring as always and will awaken your spirit.
The Masnavi, Book One (Oxford World's Classics)
Jalal al-Din Rumi
Oxford University Press, USA
, 2004
Fresh breath for a master
This is a superb translation by a true expert. So many of the "translations" of Rumi are actually rewordings of the old Brits' English translations - done no doubt with the best of intentions and enjoyable to read - and should not be called translations at all. So much ...

Broadway Books

lucious illustration, inspiring poetry
I purchased this item as a gift, and will buy another for myself. The art is stunning, the translations bring poetry to life. A book to treasure for years.

Real Men Read Rumi
Real men drink beer from bottles, stand by their buddies in bar fights, and read Rumi (though would not brag about it). This is probably the best of the collection and when my hormones are raging, reading Rumi instantly calms and brings me back to my senses. Not a ...
Rumi: The Book of Love: Poems of Ecstasy and Longing
Coleman Barks
HarperOne
, 2005
There Is Some Kiss We Want
Coleman Barks once again translates the words of Rumi with respect, good nature, a bit of humor, and a deep understanding of this 13th century mystic and poet. A renowned poet and something of a mystic himself, Coleman Barks leads us through his book as a constant and ...

Rumi Wisdom at Critical Life Moments
I am a writer and know how seldom we hear about the impact of our work, so I wanted to share a sense of how much the Rumi cards have meant to me. First, it is a truly beautiful set and one of the best short write-ups of Rumi that I've come across. I think I bought ...
Say I Am You: Poetry Interspersed With Stories of Rumi and Shams

John Moyne

Maypop Books
, 1994
Good introduction to teaching story and poetry
This book is an excellent introduction to stories and poetry of Rumi, Shams (and even Rumi's son). The translations are secondary translations i.e. reworkings into free verse older more scholarly and literal translations. As such they make the works more readily ...
I Want Burning: The Ecstatic World of Rumi, Hafiz, and Lalla
Sounds True
, 2001
A Turning Night Of Stars
Coleman Barks has captured the essence of Rumi with his captivating, mysterious southern voice giving the entire cd a mystical quality unmatched by anyone I have heard reading poetry. Anyone who wants to drink from the fountain of Rumi and find something different ...
Rumi's World: The Life and Works of the Greatest Sufi Poet (Shambhala dragon editions)
Annemarie Schimmel
Shambhala
, 2001
Excellent
There are a number of writers on Islamic topics that are excellent from differing perspectives. There are only two Western authors, however, that I have any respect for when it comes to the subject of Islamic spirituality. One of them was Frithjof Schuon, and the ...
The Mystical Poems of Rumi 1 (UNESCO Collection of Representative Works. Persian Heritage)
Jalal al Din Rumi
University Of Chicago Press
, 1974
The Best
This 2 volume set of translations by Arberry and the translations by Nicholson are the best readily available. Numerous "renderings" by popular writers littering the bookstores fail to even touch the depth and layers of meaning to be found in Rumi. These are works ...
