Oh, to be a "rind" - the inspired libertine, genius by nature, wise through study, beloved by God, and lover of creation and pursuer of beauty! I don't know why Islamic mysticist poems about love and wine and nature strike a chord in my heart, but presumably it is the combination of an appreciation for a lack of formality, immense erudition, and a love of this world (because of God!). Even in English translation (and what a translation - 30 ghazals worked over 15 years!) they work, and I wonder not why Hafez is to be found in nearly every Iranian household.

One of our most acclaimed poets brings the work of the great Persian mystic and poet, Hafez, to a new audience. There is no poet in our tradition who carries the amount of admiration and devotion that the Persians have for Hafez. Children learn to sing Hafez poems in the third grade, and almost every family has a copy of the collected Hafez on the dining room table. Robert Bly and the great Islamic scholar Leonard Lewisohn have worked for 15 years on this book of Hafez, the first that carries into English his nimbleness, his outrageous humor, his defenses of the private life in the face of the fundamentalists, and the joy of his love poems. He writes in the ghazal form, one of the greatest inventions in the history of poetry.This is Rumi's wild younger brother, now brought into an English that makes his genius visible.
