Once again Ladinsky reveals his talent for creating profound, playful and inspiring versions of classic poems for modern audiences. Rumi's joyous, ecstatic love poems; St. Francis's loving observations of nature; Kabir's wild, freeing humor that synthesizes Hindu, Muslim, and Christian beliefs; St. Teresa's sensual verse; and the mystical healing words of Hafiz - these and other spiritual writers considered to be conduits of the divine make up this rich and luminous collection.
