The Subject Tonight Is Love: 60 Wild and Sweet Poems of Hafiz
Daniel Ladinsky's unforgettable lyrical poems are inspired by the cherished verse of Hafiz, one of the greatest Sufi poets of all time.
Perhaps more than any other Persian poet, it is Hafiz who most fully accesses the mystical, healing dimensions of verse. Daniel Ladinsky's poems are not translations in a literal sense. Rather than capture the form of a particular classical poem, Ladinsky has made it his life's work to create modern interpretations inspired by the world's most profound spiritual poetry. Through Ladinsky's poems, Hafiz's voice comes alive across the centuries, singing his timeless message of love.
