<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From the renowned translator of "The Gift" comes a rich collection that brings the great Sufi poet to Western readers.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>From bestselling poet Daniel Ladinsky, a rich collection that brings the great Sufi poet Hafiz to Western readers</b> <p/> To Persians, the poems of Hafiz are not "classical literature" from a remote past but cherished wisdom from a dear and intimate friend that continues to be quoted in daily life. With uncanny insight, Hafiz captures the many forms and stages of love. His poetry outlines the stages of the mystic's "path of love"--a journey in which love dissolves personal boundaries and limitations to join larger processes of growth and transformation. <p/> With this stunning collection, Ladinsky has succeeded brilliantly in capturing the essence of one of Islam's greatest poetic and spiritual voices. <p/> <b>"If you haven't yet had the delight of dining with Daniel Ladinsky's sweet, playful renderings of the musings of the great saints, <i>I Heard God Laughing</i> is a perfect appetizer. . . . This newly released edition of his first playful foray into Hafiz's divinely inspired poetry is essential reading. . . . Ladinsky is a master who will be remembered for finally bringing Hafiz alive in the West." --Alexandra Marks, <i>The Christian Science Monitor</i></b> <p/></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"If you haven't yet had the delight of dining with Daniel Ladinsky's sweet, playful renderings of the musings of the great saints, <i>I Heard God Laughing</i> is a perfect appetizer. . . .
