Hafiz: The Mystic Poets
Hafiz: The Mystic Poets (The Mystic Poets Series), with a Preface by Andrew Harvey, HC from Jewish Lights Publishing, ISBN 1594730091. Each compact volume in the Mystic Poets series includes a brief introduction to the poet's time and place, a summary of the poet's major themes, essential poems, and a preface by a contemporary spiritual writer. Hafiz is Persia's greatest poet; sales of his work in Iran today are only surpassed by the Qur'an itself. His probing and joyful verse speaks to people of all backgrounds who long to taste and feel divine love and experience harmony with all living things.
