What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Nevit Ergin’s lifelong work on the poetry of Rumi is beautiful and heroic and, for the English reader, indispensable. Will Johnson’s insightful commentary is also much appreciated.” * Coleman Barks, author of Rumi: We Are Three and Rumi: Bridge to the Soul *
“Nevit Ergin is translator of Rumi’s 44-volume set and he and Will Johnson together present over two hundred of Rumi’s best rubais, making this a recommended pick for any collection strong in Rumi wisdom.” * The Midwest Book Review, Oct 2007 *
“Thanks to these translations and commentary, this work of such beauty and depth, has become accessible and understandable to the modern world… . These rubais, perused even at random, evoke deep emotions and contemplation, arousing awareness of pre-existing, simple truths of life, leading to unification with the Divine.” * Sheela Bhojwani, East and West Series, Vol. 50, No. 3, March 08 *
