Rumi: Swallowing the Sun
Timeless and eternal, the poetry of Jalal al-Din Rumi is loved the world over. The best-selling poet from America to Afghanistan, his words are as relevant today as ever, still resonating with contemporary concerns of both East and West alike. Commemorating the 800th anniversary of Rumi's birth, this beautifully presented volume draws from the breadth of Rumi's work, spanning his prolific career from start to finish. From the uplifting to the mellow, Franklin's Lewis polished translation will prove inspirational to both keen followers of Rumi's work and readers discovering the great poet for the first time.

Publisher, The Bridge Street Press. Asghar and Zahra (JM Originals) out now.
The great Persian scholar Franklin Lewis has died. His "Rumi: Past and Present, East and West" is more than a biography. It's a richly informed recreation of a lost world of saints, mystics and scholars. What a legacy.

Franklin Lewis was a dear friend. I first met him when he was 17. He always cared more about others than about himself. He was one of the greatest experts in Rumi and in Persian poetry of his generation. We are today diminished, but he has left us treasureholds https://t.co/k5yzi5sSNe
