Jelaluddin Rumi

The Soul of Rumi: A New Collection of Ecstatic Poems  by Maulana Jalal al-Din Rumi, Coleman Barks (Translator), John Moyne (Translator),  Nevit Ergin (Translator),  A. Arberry (Translator), Reynold A. Nicholson (Contributor)
This volume is one of the clearest and most vibrant illustrations of the Ôwild heartÕ Rumi was and is. It is difficult to  find superlatives which do justice to the beauty and towering vision this work contains. Every verse, every line seems to open, in some disarmingly simple way, vast new vistas of possibilities for the human spirit.
How good is this book? The highest accolade that can be given Barks is that his brief section introductions, frequently fodder in other volumes exploring Rumi, here are powerful and transformative in their own right. Each one sets up the following verses in a natural and seamless flow. BarksÕ light shines brightly, even in the rarefied company he keeps.

by Annemarie Schimmel

coverThe Love Poems of Rumi
Deepak Chopra (Editor), Fereydoun Kia (Translator) Jalal Al-Din Rumi, et al / Hardcover / Published 1998 
This slender, beautiful volume consists of new translations by Farsi scholar Fereydoun Kia, edited by Deepak Chopra to evoke the rich mood and music of Rumi's  love poems. Exalted yearning, ravishing ecstasy, and consuming desire emerge from these poems as powerfully today as they did on their creation more than 700 years ago.

The Essential Rumi
by Coleman Barks (Translator), Jalal Al-Din Rumi, John Moyne (1997)
No translator could do greater justice to the gorgeous simplicity of Rumi's poetry than Coleman Barks has done here. These exquisite renderings of the 13th-century Persian mystic's words into American free verse capture all the "inner searching, the delicacy, and simple groundedness" that characterize Rumi's poetry while remaining faithful to the images, tone, and spiritual message of the originals.
