First Edition "'What I like here is the counterpoint of prophetic wisdom and mystical poetry, coming at us across the ages with a timeless, eternal sublimity. Inayat Khan's introductions feel contemporaneous because of his lineal connection with source, and Coleman Barks' up-to-date free verse translations provide a new and vital entry into this great treasury of Sufi literature'" [Extract from a review by David Kherdian on the back cover]
