The Purity of Desire: 100 Poems Inspired by Rumi

The first full-length volume of Rumiâ‚¬s cherished verse, from bestselling poet and translator Daniel Ladinsky

Renowned for his poignant renderings of mystical texts, here Daniel Ladinsky captures the beauty, intimacy, and musicality of one of Islamâ‚¬s most beloved poets and spiritual thinkers. With learned insight and a delicate touch, this work explores the nuances of desireâ‚¬"that universal emotionâ‚¬"in verse inspired by Rumiâ‚¬s love and admiration for his companion and spiritual teacher, Shams-e Tabriz.

These poems thoughtfully capture the compelling wisdom of one of Islamâ‚¬s most revered artistic and religious voices and one of the most widely read poets in the English language. The Purity of Desire is an essential volume for anyone looking to feel their soul awakened.
