Sacred poetry from twelve mystics and saints, rendered brilliantly by Daniel Ladinsky, beloved interpreter of verses by the fourteenth-century Persian poet Hafiz In this luminous collection, Daniel Ladinsky -- best known for his bestselling interpretations of the great Sufi poet Hafiz -- brings together the timeless work of twelve of the worlds finest spiritual writers, six from the East and six from the West. Once again, Ladinsky reveals his talent for creating profound and playful renditions of classic poems for a modern audience. Rumis joyous, ecstatic love poems; St. Franciss loving observations of nature through the eyes of Catholicism; Kabirs wild, freeing humor that synthesizes Hindu, Muslim, and Christian beliefs; St. Teresas sensual verse; and the mystical, healing words of Sufi poet Hafiz--these along with inspiring works by Rabia, Meister Eckhart, St. Thomas Aquinas, Mira, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, and Tukaram are all love poems by God from writers considered conduits of the divine. Together, they form a spiritual treasure to cherish always.
