Love Poems from God
Book Description
In this transcendent collection, Daniel Ladinsky-best
known for his gifted and best-selling translations
of the great Sufi poet Hafiz-brings together the
timeless work of twelve of the world's finest
spiritual writers, six from the East and six from
the West. Once again Ladinsky reveals his talent for
creating inspiring, profound, and playful versions
of classic poems for a modern audience. Rumi's
joyous, ecstatic love poems; St. Francis's loving
observations of nature through the eyes of
Catholicism; Kabir's wild, freeing humor that
synthesizes Hindu, Muslim, and Christian beliefs;
St. Teresa's sensual verse; and the mystical,
healing words of Hafiz-these and other spiritual
writers considered to be "conduits of the divine"
make up this rich and luminous collection of "love
poems from God."
