This revised and expanded edition of The Essential Rumi includes a new introduction by Coleman Barks and more than 80 never-before-published poems.

Through his lyrical translations, Coleman Barks has been instrumental in bringing this exquisite literature to a remarkably wide range of listeners, making the ecstatic, spiritual poetry of 13th-century Sufi mystic Rumi more popular than ever.

The Essential Rumi continues to be the best-selling of all Rumi books and the definitive selection of his beautiful, mystical poetry.

For all lovers of Rumi, new and longtime this is the pinnacle of the spoken word. Well worth listening to many times. Perhaps my favourite audio book presentation. Barks has touched the hem of Rumi’s robe and brought back the timeless message of Shams. I laughed, I cried and I danced. Thank you!

The title says it all. Essential.
