Four things to read, four things to see, four things to listen to, and four things about me
Richard Jeffrey Newman
A poet and essayist, I write about gender and sexuality, Jewish identity and culture, writing and translation. My goal? To make connections that matter. I also help other writers do the same.
Selections from Saadi's Bustan
"...it is fortunate that Richard Jeffrey Newman has undertaken this fine and engaging translation of Saadi's Bustan for English readers." —John Moyne, author of A Bird in The Garden of Angels: A Life and Times and An Anthology of Rumi

Selections from Saadi's Gulistan
“I will write a book to instruct and amuse the people, a gulistan, a rose garden, whose petals will not fall away at the touch of autumn’s wind, and in which it will always be spring, immune to the passing of time.” —Saadi of Shiraz
