Versions of Rumi

By John Moyne and Coleman Barks

“Felicitous new translations of Rumi, the witty and mystical, Villon-like poet… These reflections on love, the dance of selves, happiness, acceptance of life’s sorrows, and the transitory nature of joy are touchingly sensitive in their search for philosophical peace of mind.” — Library Journal
