Learn moreFrom Madonna to Deepak Chopra, celebrities have been recording and embracing Rumi's poetry for the past two decades, creating a resurgence of interest in this 13th century Sufi mystic. This beautiful collection of 196 of his poems, previously unavailable in English and now translated by native Persian speakers Maryam Mafi and Azima Melita Kolin, will appeal to Rumi lovers everywhere who want a guidebook for their inner journey. The poetry within will accompany those who consciously enter the inner world to explore the gardens withinโout of the everyday "world of dust"โthrough an ascending hierarchy that restores one's soul to the heart, the heart to the spirit, and, in finding spirit, transcends all.
