 A delightful book! August 13, 2010
Andrew Heaney (CA)
This is a delightful book that takes up the intricacies of Sufi poetry and translates them by producing a modern work. Coleman understands Rumi and has been able to interpret his emotions and thoughts in a wonderful manner. Many kudos to him.

"A Year with Rumi" is an excellent collection of the mystic poet's work, translated by renowned Rumi expert Coleman Barks. It is arranged as a series of daily readings, and I've found it to be a great source of inspiration each new day.

Honoring the great Sufi tradition, Coleman Barks translates Rumi in a way that anyone with a spiritual side can appreciate. I particularly appreciate this edition for Barks' editorial comments and for the volume of poetry. A great introduction to Rumi and Sufism.

A little Rumi every day is very good for the soul. This English version of Rumi's poetry captures the essence of the original Farsi text.
