Book Reviews of The Illuminated Rumi
Book Review: Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
As a lifelong bookworm, I've gotta say: this one is a gem. Incredible illustrations, and a caringly, lit glimpse into the mystery and depth of Rumi. One of those ones you want to pass on to the most special people in your life. The kind of literature that runs against the grain of our aggravating times and quickly reminds us of something higher to aspire to.Book Review: Timeless
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a gem. I got 2 copies and gave 1 to my surgeon whom has been working closely with me for the past 10 months as a gift to say thank you and the other copy I gave to a cousin for her 30th Birthday. They seemed like exquisite gifts....something that each of them could enjoy forever. The illustrations and the text speak for themselves; high quality.Book Review: well received gift
Summary: 5 Stars
I gave this book to a soul-searching friend this year and a few weeks later was very pleased to get a note saying it was not only beautiful but very inspiring. I only had a moment to glance through it and I think I'll get a copy for myself, too. The page layouts are gorgeous and do not detract at all from Rumi's poetry. I highly recommend it.Book Review: A great combination of words and images.
Summary: 5 Stars
Coleman Barks and Michael Green have performed a rare feat, combining words and images successfully. No small acomplishment considering the subject matter. I and many people I have talked to have commented on how many times one can derive new levels of enjoyment and fulfillment when reading and viewing these illuminated verses.Book Review: One of the must have books on Rumi!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book! It is one of those books I fall into when I've had a tough day and I just need to center myself. I highly recommend MANY MANY poems in here but a favorite would have to be Baby Pigeon on pg. 32
