Book Reviews of The Subject Tonight Is Love: Sixty Wild and Sweet Poems of Hafiz
Book Review: The Playful Poems of Hafiz
Summary: 4 Stars
The poet Hafiz provides short poems that I read to my wife as we prepare to sleep. There is tenderness (The Woman I Love), joy (We Keep Each Other Happy), and humor (The Vegetables). Some are thought-provoking (Some Angels Grumble). I find that I am still seeking the meaning in others.
Summary of The Subject Tonight Is Love: Sixty Wild and Sweet Poems of Hafiz
To Persians, the fourteenth-century poems of Hafiz are not classical literature from a remote past, but cherished love, wisdom, and humor from a dear and intimate friend. Perhaps, more than any other Persian poet, it is Hafiz who most fully accesses the mystical, healing dimensions of poetry. Daniel Ladinsky has made it his life's work to create modern, inspired translations of the world's most profound spiritual poetry. Through Ladinsky's translations, Hafiz's voice comes alive across the centuries singing his message of love.Literary Theory Books
