In both eastern and western spiritual traditions, it is believed that certain mystics and saints receive a gift from God that makes them poetic conduits of the divine, bearers of 'love poems from God'. Twelve of these timeless spiritual poets, six from the East and six from the West, are beautifully presented in this inspirational volume. Daniel Ladinsky, best known for his gifted translations of the great Sufi poet Hafiz, brings his art to this rich and luminous collection. These fresh, innovative, and playful versions provide a meaningful way to celebrate ourselves and our world. First published 2002.
