  <description><![CDATA[  <strong>From the renowned translator of <em>The Gift</em>, a rich collection that brings the great Sufi   poet to Western readers</strong>  <br/><br/>  To Persians , the poems of Hafiz are not &quot;classical literature&quot; from a remote past but cherished   wisdom from a dear and intimate friend that continue to be quoted in daily life. With uncanny   insight, Hafiz captures the many forms and stages of love. His poetry outlines the stages of the   mystic’s &quot;path of love&quot;—a journey in which love dissolves personal boundaries and limitations to   join larger processes of growth and transformation.  <p>  With this stunning collection, Ladinsky has succeeded brilliantly in translating the essence of one   of Islam’s greatest poetic and spiritual voices.</p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[  <strong>From the renowned translator of <em>The Gift</em>, a rich collection that brings the great Sufi   poet to Western readers</strong>  <br/><br/>  To Persians , the poems of Hafiz are not &quot;classical literature&quot; from a remote past but cherished   wisdom from a dear and intimate friend that continue to be quoted in daily life. With uncanny   insight, Hafiz captures the many forms and stages of love. His poetry outlines the stages of the   mystic’s &quot;path of love&quot;—a journey in which love dissolves personal boundaries and limitations to   join larger processes of growth and transformation.  <p>  With this stunning collection, Ladinsky has succeeded brilliantly in translating the essence of one   of Islam’s greatest poetic and spiritual voices.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[  <strong>From the renowned translator of <em>The Gift</em>, a rich collection that brings the great Sufi   poet to Western readers</strong>  <br/><br/>  To Persians , the poems of Hafiz are not &quot;classical literature&quot; from a remote past but cherished   wisdom from a dear and intimate friend that continue to be quoted in daily life. With uncanny   insight, Hafiz captures the many forms and stages of love. His poetry outlines the stages of the   mystic’s &quot;path of love&quot;—a journey in which love dissolves personal boundaries and limitations to   join larger processes of growth and transformation.  <p>  With this stunning collection, Ladinsky has succeeded brilliantly in translating the essence of one   of Islam’s greatest poetic and spiritual voices.</p>]]>
