Translations by Coleman Barks, Illuminations by Michael Green
There are many translations of Rumi and various books of his poetry available, all superb, but this is my favorite edition. It’s a hardcover, with lovely images for reflection upon Rumi’s poetic wisdom and offerings.
Rumi is quoted all over the place nowadays, and his wisdom is timeless. “Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love.” “My soul is from elsewhere. I’m sure of that, and I intend to end up there.” This is a great coffee table book for frequent reading, and can be purchased new online for between $15 – 18.
