5.0 out of 5 stars WOMEN TRANSLATE RUMI, March 1, 2004

By	"hedwigschmidt" (SEATTLE, WA) - See all my reviews

THIS BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION OF RUMI'S POEMS AND SAYINGS WAS TRANSLATED BY TWO WOMEN--HIGHLY UNUSUAL. THEIR SENSITIVE AND TRUE TO FORM TRANSLATIONS SEND THE READER INTO BLISS.

I READ IT QUITE OFTEN AND GIVE IT AS GIFTS, ESPECIALLY TO FEMALE FRINDS, WHO LOVE IT.
