A Bird In The Gar­den Of Angels is out!

If you’re a fan of Rumi, this new anthol­ogy, on the poetry sec­tions of which I col­lab­o­rated with pri­mary author John Moyne, is one you will want to get. A Bird In The Gar­den Of Angels is also a won­der­ful intro­duc­tion to Rumi for those new to his work, or those who may know of him but don’t know much about him. Con­tain­ing essays by Moyne on both Rumi’s life and Sufism, A Bird In The Gar­den Of Angels is fur­ther divided into five sec­tions, one for each of the gen­res of poetry and prose that Rumi worked in. Some parts of each sec­tion have been trans­lated into Eng­lish for the first time; some of the poems were orig­i­nally trans­lated by John Moyne and Cole­man Barks, but appear in this vol­ume in new ver­sions. You can order the book from Mazda Pub­lish­ers’ web­site or any online book­store. (It’s also on sale at the Met­ro­pol­i­tan Museum of Art!)
