Originally released in 2007, "Year of Rumi," to coincide with the poet's 800th birthday, by the pre-eminent Rumi poet Coleman Barks.
In Rumi: Bridge to the Soul, Coleman Barks—who holds an honorary doctorate in Persian language and literature by the University of Tehran for his decades-long translations of Rumi—has collected and translated ninety new poems, most of them never published before in any form. The "bridge" in the title is a reference to the Khajou Bridge in Isphahan, Iran, which Barks visited with Robert Bly in May of 2006—a trip that in many ways prompted this book. The "soul bridge" also suggests Rumi himself, who crosses cultures and religions and brings us all together to listen to his words, regardless of origin or creed.
Open this book and let Rumi's poetry carry you into the interior silence and joy of the spirit, the place that unites conscious knowing with a deeper, more soulful understanding.
More than eight hundred years after his birth, the Persian poet Rumi continues to inspire and captivate readers the world over with his enchanting verse. Transcending the limits of time, culture and geography, Rumi’s work bridges the gap between conscious knowing and deep understanding to celebrate the joy of being.
Rumi: Bridge to the Soul, translated by pre-eminent Rumi expert Coleman Barks, features ninety poems, most of which have never previously been published in any form. The “bridge” in the title is a reference to the Khajou Bridge in Isphahan, Iran, which Barks visited in 2006, but also refers to Rumi himself, who crosses cultures, faiths and generations to share the joy and beauty of his work. Coleman Barks is a renowned poet and the bestselling author of The Essential Rumi, The Soul of Rumi, Rumi: The Book of Love, and The Drowned Book. He was prominently featured in both of Bill Moyers’s PBS television series on poetry, “The Language of Life” and “Fooling with Words.” He taught English and poetry at the University of Georgia for thirty years, and he now focuses on writing, readings, and performances.You may also like
