The Purity of Desire: 100 Poems of Rumi

The first full-length volume of Rumiâ€™s cherished verse by bestselling poet Daniel Ladinsky

Renowned for his poignant renderings of Hafizâ€™s mystical texts, Daniel Ladinsky captures the beauty, intimacy, and musicality of another of Islamâ€™s most beloved poets and spiritual thinkers. In collaboration here with Nancy Owen Barton, and with learned insight and a delicate touch, they explore the nuances of desireâ€”that universal emotionâ€”in verse inspired by Rumiâ€™s love and admiration for his companion and spiritual teacher, Shams-e Tabriz. These poems thoughtfully capture the compelling wisdom of one of Islamâ€™s most revered artistic and religious voices and one of the most widely read poets in the English language.
