5.0 out of 5 stars Love!
Rumi is one of the world's most famous poets, and his poetry is truly treasured across continents and cultures. This translation is a good one for American audience with a variety of differing religious views. One may read Rumi's poems as one's yearning to return to the divine or simply interpret it as the heart's yearning for one's true love. It's moving, simple, spiritual but not dogmatic and heartfelt imagery. I enjoy reading different interpretations of Rumi's work because his Sufi philosophy must be understood by the translator and from that personal understanding one translate them into various languages. As such we too as the readers can understand the poem and translate it into our hearts. Thoroughly enjoyed the book, recommended!
5.0 out of 5 stars Rumi the Unifier
I recommend this book to everyone. Rumi's poems offer a look at Iranian culture that we rarely see. What is important to remember is that Rumi was a poet, a spiritualist, a sufi and a devout and well-schooled Sunni Muslim. He was never divorced from his religion and we do him a disservice when we try to pretend that his spiritual quest is different from the formal teachings of his religion. His is a message of Love; his poems are a gift to all, no matter whether we embrace a formal religion or not.
5.0 out of 5 stars Poetry? No thanks...Oh unless it's Rumi By Barks - that's High Vibe!
Didn't much like "poetry" before this. In fact this is the first book of 'poetry' i've not pelted into the bin.Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm a reader...oh yes. I have (no doubt like you) walls of books, all ordered by how much I ADORED them. And no book ever into the bin - sacrilege! Except poetry. Why? "Oh poetry is just such grandiose swashbuckling twaddle!"Well who knows what I read or if it really was grandi-gross. What I do know is that I LOVE RUMI. AND I LOVE COLEMAN BARKS (now I know who the hell they both are).I've started a new little book shelf. It's called HIGH VIBRATORY. It ONLY for books that are INSPIRED (of such outstanding beauty that its inarguable that pure-positive-non-physical-source energy played a role in their emergence). These books are those that I'm going back to, over and over, because of the sheer joy and exhilaration that's swell in my heart as I read them. Rumi The Book Of Love sits prominently on this fabulous new shelf.Go on, buy it, devour it. I defy anyone not to want to marry this book. Or at least position it on a High Vibratory shelf...
4.0 out of 5 stars Coleman Barks' Rumi is a transporting and profound experience. Its beauty has brought me to tears
Whenever I read Coleman Barks, I remind myself that I'm reading more Coleman Barks than actual Rumi. Other, truer translations of Rumi are not at all like Mr. Barks' bite-sized pieces of perfect English imagery.Taken for what it is, Coleman Barks' Rumi is a transporting and profound experience. Its beauty has brought me to tears at times.
5.0 out of 5 stars Eloquent and beautiful poetry....
My husband and I both have degrees in literature so we are avid readers. Combined we’ve already read most of the classics, so we’ve recently taken a turn towards more spiritually-based verse and prose. This is a quintessential book of beautiful and eloquent poetry by Rumi. Poetic as it is profound....
3.0 out of 5 stars Book edges are cut wrong
The book arrived defective. The edge of it is not smooth. It won’t interfere with the reading but it doesn’t look like “all in good shape book”
5.0 out of 5 stars Rumi: The Book of Love...
Beautiful translation of Rumi’s great wisdom on Love and longing. Recommended read of poetry lovers and seekers of the mystic.
5.0 out of 5 stars Rumi the Master poem of the Mystic
Rumi never disappoints. This book of Love, Poems of Ecstasy blew me away. These poems are so deep, so profound, I found I could read one poem a day. I had to let the energy and words of the poems digest and process their way through my being. I am still reading and will be for a time.

Rumi: The Book of Love - Poems of Ecstasy and Longing by Coleman Barks
I have several books of rumi-s magnificent poetry, awe-inspiring...great ...wonderful ....works of art in every word and vivid pictures he paints. Rumi-s books seems to inspire so many people to write so much about his works ...like the poet himself, although wrote many words .....Kept his philosophy simple. So I will try.It is more comprehensive than some of the other books, who just give one verse snippets from the longer poems; a snap shot of delights they may be but frustrating if you want more. This edition supplies a little more. A wonderful book offering, a little of something for everyone but still not the complete edition I was looking for......My only grief and it is a small one, is that I cannot share the full version of my favourite poems with friends when reading aloud.....Especially Zuleikha and or the these wonderful lines from A great wagon.... (The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you - don't go back to sleep...you must ask for what you really want -don't go back to sleep. ) for example are not included?.....That said I still recommend it ... There are other pearls on offer to enjoy.
Poor quality product
The book quality is unbearable, I require and swap with good quality book.
