Description

From the renowned translator of The Gift, a rich collection that brings the great Sufi poet to Western readers To Persians , the poems of Hafiz are not "classical literature" from a remote past but cherished wisdom from a dear and intimate friend that continue 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. With this stunning collection, Ladinsky has succeeded brilliantly in translating the essence of one of Islam’s greatest poetic and spiritual voices.

The final collection by the late Jason Shinder, “one of the finest of our new poets” (Gerald Stern)I close my eyes and try to rememberwhen I was unopposed, when I started to die,buoyant, fragrant, shuddering with love.                                             —from “Before”Jason Shinder’s last poems are his moving testimonies to poetry, love, and friendship. With power, clarity, and disarming humor, the poems confront grief and mortality with a humility and fortitude that come only “with hope, stupid hope.” Stupid Hope is Shinder’s wry, penetrating, and wise farewell.

Wottest thou, reader, of a little town, {17}Which thereabouts they call Bob-up-and-down,Under the Blee, in Canterbury way?Well, there our host began to jest and play,And said, “Hush, hush now: Dun is in the mire.What, sirs? will nobody, for prayer or hire,Wake our good gossip, sleeping here behind?Here were a bundle for a thief to find.See, how he noddeth! by St. Peter, see!He’ll tumble off his saddle presently.Is that a cook of London, red flames take him!He knoweth the agreement - wake him, wake him:We’ll have his tale, to keep him from his nap,Although the drink turn out not worth the tap.Awake, thou cook,” quoth he; “God say thee nay;What aileth thee to sleep thus in the day?Hast thou had fleas all night? or art thou drunk?Or didst thou sup with my good lord the monk,And hast a jolly surfeit in thine head?” This cook that was full pale, and nothing red,Stared up, and said unto the host, “God blessMy soul, I feel such wondrous heaviness,I know not why, that I would rather sleepThan drink of the best gallon-wine in Cheap.”
