"Haleh Liza Gafori’s translations of Rumi are exquisite. Gorgeous, fluent, faithful translations, rendering Rumi’s voice on the page with an original integrity that is as skilled as it is unforgettable.
"
—Pádraig Ó Tuama, host of On Being’s Poetry Unbound Podcast
Rumi’s poems were meant to induce a sense of ecstatic illumination and liberation in his audience, bringing its members to a condition of serenity, compassion, and oneness with the divine. They remain masterpieces of world literature to which readers in many languages continually return for inspiration and succor, as well as aesthetic delight. This new translation by Haleh Liza Gafori preserves the intelligence and the drama of the poems, which are as full of individual character as they are of visionary wisdom.
Haleh Liza Gafori is a translator, vocalist, poet and educator born in New York City of Persian descent. Her recent book, GOLD, published by New York Review Books/NYRB Classics, features her translations of poems by Rumi, the 13th century sage and mystic.
