Rumi: The Book of Love by Coleman Barks

Rumi: The Book of Love by Coleman Barks

Coleman Barks' versions are the reason Rumi is the best-selling poet in America, and this collection gathers the love poems specifically — arranged not by date but by the kind of love each one is about.

Barks divides them into the stages: the ache of absence, the sudden meeting, the friendship with Shams that undid Rumi's respectable life as a jurist, the union, and the loss that produced the greatest of the poems. Each section opens with a short commentary explaining the Sufi context that a Western reader would otherwise miss.

The most popular single Rumi collection in English, and the best place to start with him.
