Synopsis In the early 13th century, Jalauddin Rumi was already an accomplished scholar when he encountered a visiting dervish who changed his life. After a spiritual reckoning, Rumi began writing mystic poems that celebrate an intimate relationship with the holy. Here, Barks, the poet and translator largely responsible for Rumi's rather amazing late-20th-century American popularity, offers a selection of his most vivid and ecstatic poems.
