Book Reviews of Rumi: The Book of Love: Poems of Ecstasy and Longing
Book Review: A Magical Combination
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful collection of poems written by the Sufi mystic Rumi who lived in the 13th century and translated in a modern manner by the poet Coleman Barks. The result is an accessible and magical work which makes the reader reflect upon Rumi's idealization of his teacher Shams, the union with the Divine, the contemplation of the natural world and love's different aspects.

Summary of Rumi: The Book of Love: Poems of Ecstasy and Longing
Now in paperback, this is the definitive collection of America's bestselling poet Rumi's finest poems of love and lovers. In Coleman Barks' delightful and wise renderings, these poems will open your heart and soul to the lover inside and out.
'There are lovers content with longing.
I'm not one of them.'
Rumi is best known for his poems expressing the ecstasies and mysteries of love of all kinds - erotic, divine, friendship -and Coleman Barks collects here the best of those poems, ranging from the 'wholeness' one experiences with a true lover, to the grief of a lover's loss, and all the states in between: from the madness of sudden love to the shifting of a romance to deep friendship - these poems cover all 'the magnificent regions of the heart'.
