Publisher's Summary

This revised and expanded edition of The Essential Rumi includes a new introduction by Coleman Barks and more than 80 never-before-published poems.

Through his lyrical translations, Coleman Barks has been instrumental in bringing this exquisite literature to a remarkably wide range of listeners, making the ecstatic, spiritual poetry of 13th-century Sufi mystic Rumi more popular than ever.

The Essential Rumi continues to be the best-selling of all Rumi books and the definitive selection of his beautiful, mystical poetry.

As the title suggests - Essentials

The Essential Rumi I believe is an important book one must read.

This is an anthology of versus which forms part of one's daily life and leaves us with very important lessons.

“You need more help than you know.”
Like he says, shares with us to introspect where we are and where we want to be.

While it's a long book and may become a little to much in the middle, but definitely ends with a high note.
