Rumi lived seven hundred years ago in a medieval Persian world that bears little resemblance to ours, which makes the uncanny resonance of his verse today just that much more remarkable. Here is a treasury of daily wisdom from this most beloved of all the Sufi masters – both his prose and his ecstatic poetry – that you can use to start every day for a year, or that you can dip into any time you need to break through the granite of your heart. 53/4” x 73/4” / 365 pages. Paper
The forty-seven new works in this volume include poems on crickets, toads, trout lilies, black snakes, goldenrod, bears, greeting the morning, watching the deer, and, finally, lingering in happiness. Each poem is imbued with the extraordinary perceptions of a poet who considers the everyday in our lives and the natural world around us and finds a multitude of reasons to wake early. From the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry and the National Book Award. 61/4” x 81/2” / 71 pages. Paper
