Media Reviews
An excellent introduction to Rumi, the greatest mystical poet of Islam. . . . Rumi's scope, like that of all the great poets, is universal--reaching from sensuous luxuriance to the driest irony. --Sherman Goldman East-West Journal
Rumi is one of the world's greatest lyrical poets in any language--as well as probably the most accessible and approachable representative of Islamic civilization for Western students. --James W. Morris, Oberlin College
