The Subject Tonight Is Love: 60 Wild and Sweet Poems Inspired by Hafiz (Compass)

From the renowned translator ofÂ The Gift, a rich collection that brings the great Sufi poet Hafiz to Western readersÂ

Perhaps more than any other Persian poet, it is Hafiz who most fully accesses the mystical, healing dimensions of verse. Acclaimed poet Daniel Ladinsky has made it his lifeâ‚¬s work to create modern, inspired translations of the worldâ‚¬s most profound spiritual poetry. Through Ladinskyâ‚¬s translations, Hafizâ‚¬s voice comes alive across the centuries, singing his timeless message of love.

With this stunning collection, Ladinsky has once again succeeded brilliantly in translating the essence of one of Islamâ‚¬s greatest poetic and spiritual voices.

â‚¬Å“Ladinsky is a master who will be remembered for finally bringing Hafiz alive in the West.â‚¬ÂÂ â‚¬"Alexandra Marks,Â The Christian Science MonitorÂ
