“I bought this book based on reading the humorous introduction. It was the best budget book deal for $6, I have ever purchased! I have reread parts over and over. I've even read one of the poems at a friends funeral. I always enjoyed poetry but this is a wonderful balance of religious orientated poems from different backgrounds and beliefs. I found myself rising above the religious differences with an openess and fascination that's hard to explain. ”

Yes | No“If I were to be alone on a desert island this would be the book I would want to have with me. Daniel Ladinsky has translated the poetry of Hafiz with such insight. In this book you will find the poetry of Christian mystics, to the ecstasy of Rumi. Every page in this book, every poem in this book touches my soul and lights up my heart. I keep it on my bedside table. Let God speak to you through these poets who experienced the Divine in the most amazing ways!”
