This review is from: Sweet on My Lips: The Love Poems of Mirabai (Paperback)
This was a wonderful book. I've read over and over again. Mirabai is so inspiring and her poems will sing in your heart long after you've finished reading the book.

Hey Mira,
By
This review is from: Sweet on My Lips: The Love Poems of Mirabai (Paperback)
Didn't want Mira to feel lonely not having a review. I have this book somewhere in this crazy mess I live in.
If I could find it I am sure I would find some wonderful lines of verse. Here is a line I once worked with of Mira's. "The moon was perched like a golden hawk on the mango tree ..." Hope that wets your whistle. Daniel Ladinsky Best-selling Penguin author of several poetry books
