Inner Treasure
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is a wonderful compilation of the poetry by the great mystics of many religious traditions. There is a brief introduction before each chapter, describing the religion and the poets who are featured. The translations are sensitive and evoke the spirit of the work - the love, longing, wit, knowledge, and so on. In addition, from this poetry, you can see where the many traditions intersect. I love this book - it is a real gem.
