Coleman Barks has played a central role in making the Sufi mystic Rumi
the most popular poet in the world. A Year with Rumi brings together
365 of Barks's elegant and beautiful translations of Rumi's greatest
poems, including fifteen never-before-published poems.
Barks includes an Introduction that sets Rumi in his context and an
Afterword musing on poetry of the mysterious and the sacred. Join
Coleman Barks and Rumi for a year-long journey into the mystical and
sacred within and without. Join them in recognizing and embracing the
divine in the sublime, in the ordinary, and in us all.
