I gave it a try anyway... Considering that it was not his work (Deepak). I read that the majority of the books written in English were translated by someone who wasn't that great so I bought this one.... The poems are simplistic.. A bit repetitive.. I have yet to understand how Rumi influenced so many, still, to this day.. But.. for 4 dollars... It might be worth to own a piece of history... AND... The poems aren't horrible. I have a western tongue and western eyes.. I am used to a much different style.

The Love Poems of Rumi is a wonderful book that will fill any heart with great passion and awe. I enjoyed Rumi's beautiful language and the images he is able to conjure in one's mind. This is a lovely brief collection of poems that are seductive and addictive, one is obliged to re-read them over and over again. Rumi's capacity for immortalizing himself though his writings is genuinely amazing. This little book makes a superb gift to anyone who loves poetry and understands the esoteric nature of love.
