Drunk on the Wine of the Beloved: 100 Poems of Hafiz
By
Shirazi Hafiz
The Persian Sufi poet Hafiz (1326-1390) is a towering figure in Islamic literature and in spiritual attainment. He was known for his odes and songs of rhyming couplets celebrating divine love. In this selection of his poems, wine and inoxication it brings are the images that express this love in all its hundred free-verse renditions, we gain entry into the mystical world of Hafiz's Winehouse, with its ecstatic minstrels, its bewitching Winebringer, and its companions in drunken longing whose hearts cry out, "More wine!" Thomas Rain Crowe brings a new dimension to the growing appreciation of Hafiz and his wise drunkard's advice to the seekers of God.
