Product Description
To Persians, the fourteenth-century poems of Hafiz are not classical literature from a remote past, but cherished love, wisdom, and humor from a dear and intimate friend. Perhaps, more than any other Persian poet, it is Hafiz who most fully accesses the mystical, healing dimensions of poetry. Daniel Ladinsky has made it his life's work to create modern, inspired translations of the world's most profound spiritual poetry. Through Ladinsky's translations, Hafiz's voice comes alive across the centuries singing his message of love.

 Lovely, 2008-10-18
This was a great buy! I loved the poems that the translator had picked out for this edition and they were all very well translated and not like some other really horrible translations that I've read of persian poetry. I gave it as a gift to one of my friends and now she can't get enough of Hafiz.

 The Playful Poems of Hafiz, 2008-01-19
The poet Hafiz provides short poems that I read to my wife as we prepare to sleep. There is tenderness (The Woman I Love), joy (We Keep Each Other Happy), and humor (The Vegetables). Some are thought-provoking (Some Angels Grumble). I find that I am still seeking the meaning in others.

The Subject Tonight Is Love by Hafiz, 2007-12-18
This small wonderful book stirs the contemplative heart. The poems are not more than a page long. I use them for my evening prayer. Each one is a golden nugget of inspiration. I highly recommend this book...five stars.

Divine Hafiz, 2007-08-04
A lifelong fan (dare I say devoted?) to Hafiz and his many works, this book is a must have. Nothing compares to reading Hafiz in Persian, but this book comes very, very close. Hafiz is enlightening, spiritual, refreshing, and above all, very full of wisdom. His works are truly magical, especially considering after all these years, people are still compelled to his work and mystified by his writings. Classic.

Luminous soul food!, 2007-01-19
Hafiz is, together with Rumi, simply one of the greatest poets to have walked on this earth (in my opinion), and Ladinsky's translations bring them to English speakers in a way that we can easliy and deliciously assimilate. This book of enlightening poems will make your soul glow and shiver with delight, if only you let it...
