Rumi: The Book of Love is a collection of poems by the 13th century Sufi mystic Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi, translated and interpreted by Coleman Barks. The poems explore themes of love, passion, rapture, and longing through Rumi's spiritual lens. Barks' translations focus on the essence of Rumi's poetry while taking creative license to adapt it for a contemporary audience. The poems range from short, imagistic verses to longer narratives that describe Rumi's relationship with his mentor Shams-i Tabrizi. Rumi's mystical teachings about the nature of divine and human love are captured in this celebrated translation of his most intimate work.
