Media Reviews
If Rumi is the most-read poet in America today, ColemanBarks is in good part responsible. His ear for the truly divinemadness in Rumi's poetry is truly remarkable. -- Huston Smith, author of The World's Religions In this.delightful treasury, Barks sparklingly demonstratesonce again why his free-form interpretations of [Rumi's] poetryhave been a major impetus for the current Rumi vogue. -- Publishers Weekly Perhaps the world's greatest spiritual poet--the gold of Rumipours down through Coleman's words. The words leap off thepage and dance! -- Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart The Essential Rumi is a rare and precious book that will stir the hearts of Rumi devotees and win many new converts. -- Body Mind Spirit
