    A beautiful collection, but the commentary felt a bit dense at times. Still, a great introduction to Islamic mystical poetry.

    Not quite what I expected. I found the language quite archaic and difficult to decipher at times.

    A profound exploration of Sufism. The book opened my eyes to a new perspective. Highly recommended! The poems are mesmerizing.

    A fantastic overview of Islamic mystical poetry. I especially appreciated the diverse range of poets included.
