Love Is My Savior
By Rumi
108 pages;
Michigan State University Press
Translated by Nesreen Akhtarkhavari and Anthony A. Lee
Like John Donne's "Holy Sonnet 14," these works by the Persian poet Rumi—in an English edition of his rarely translated Arabic verse—sublimely blend the devotional and the erotic.
