SUMMARY
The book offer entrance into a world and beauty and truth. Its method is two-fold. First it presents five important lectures on Persian poetry given by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan, who brought Sufis to the West. Then it offers fresh translations by the poet Coleman Barks of some of the poetry Inayat Khan discusses, designed to provide readers with ready access to at least a sample of this wondrous literature, still not easy to find in English. Thus the book presents a brief, but reasonably comprehensive, introduction to one of the great literatures of the world, until recently ignored in the West.Barks, Coleman is the author of 'Hand of Poetry Five Mystic Poets of Persia Translations from the Poems of Sanai, Attar, Rumi, Saadi and Hafiz Lectures on Persian Poetry', published 1993 under ISBN 9780930872472 and ISBN 0930872479.
