Love Poems from God: Inspirations from Twelve Sacred Voices of the East and West (Compass)

Sacred poetry from twelve mystics and saints, rendered brilliantly by Daniel Ladinsky, beloved interpreter of verses by the fourteenth-century Persian poet Hafiz

In this luminous collection, Daniel Ladinskyâ€”best known for his bestselling interpretations of the great Sufi poet Hafizâ€”brings together the timeless work of twelve of the worldâ€™s finest spiritual writers, six from the East and six from the West. Once again, Ladinsky reveals his talent for creating profound and playful renditions of classic poems for a modern audience.

Rumiâ€™s joyous, ecstatic love poems; St. Francisâ€™s loving observations of nature through the eyes of Catholicism; Kabirâ€™s wild, freeing humor that synthesizes Hindu, Muslim, and Christian beliefs; St. Teresaâ€™s sensual verse; and the mystical, healing words of Sufi poet Hafizâ€”these along with inspiring works by Rabia, Meister Eckhart, St. Thomas Aquinas, Mira, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, and Tukaram are all â€œlove poems by Godâ€ from writers considered â€œconduits of the divine.â€ Together, they form a spiritual treasure to cherish always.
