About this product

Product Information

Chosen by author Elizabeth Gilbert as one of her ten favorite books, Daniel Ladinsky's extraordinary renderings of 250 unforgettable lyrical poems by Hafiz, one of the greatest Sufi poets of all time More than any other Persian poet -- even Rumi -- Hafiz expanded the mystical, healing dimensions of poetry. Because his poems were often ecstatic love songs from God to his beloved world, many have called Hafiz the "Invisible Tongue." Indeed, Daniel Ladinsky has said that his work with Hafiz is an attempt to do the impossible: to render Light into words -- to make the Luminous Resonance of God tangible to our finite senses. I am a hole in a flute that the Christ's breath moves through -- listen to this music! With this stunning collection of Hafiz's most intimate poems, Ladinsky has succeeded brilliantly in presenting the essence of one of Islam's greatest poetic and religious voices. Each line of The Gift imparts the wonderful qualities of this master Sufi poet and spiritual teacher: encouragement, an audacious love that touches lives, profound knowledge, generosity, and a sweet, playful genius unparalleled in world literature.

THIS BOOK ABSOLUTLY THRILLS MY SOUL!
Most of the poems are no more than a page long, but so deep! This book will make you laugh, it will make you cry. A very beautiful translation of Hafiz's ancient divine poetry. I just adore it! Makes the perfect gift for yourself, and after you've read it yourself, you are going to want to buy a copy for everyone you really love as well. Seriously, this is a GREAT BOOK! The kind you want to read over and over again!

Hafiz! This really is a Gift.
This is not my first purchase of this book. I am a huge Hafiz fan. For me, if one is going to have just one of his books, this is the best book to have. I'm currently leading a workshop on this book. Everyone is enjoying it.
