Following in the footsteps of the Persian mystical poets Rumi, Hafez, Nizami and others, the timeless works in this collection express the poet’s overwhelming devotion to and longing for the Divine Beloved. This is heart-opening poetry of longing and love from the last great
poet in the classical Persian tradition. Jami’s poetry seethes with
spiritual ardor without being sentimental. His themes are varied, but ultimately lead back to a singular
teaching that the Divine is not
separate from the one who seeks and
loves. |
