Known for his profound mystical wisdom combined with a sublime sensuousness, Hafiz was the supreme master of a poetic form known as the <i>ghazal</i> (pronounced "guzzle"), an ode or song consisting of rhymed couplets celebrating divine love. In this selection of his poems, wine and the intoxication it brings are the image that expresses this love in all its joyful abandon, painful longing, bewilderment, and surrender. Through ninety-five free-verse renditions, we gain entry into the mystical world of Hafiz's Winehouse, with its happy minstrels, its bewitching Winebringer, and its companions in drunken longing whose hearts cry out, "More wine!" Thomas Rain Crowe brings a new dimension to our growing appreciation of Hafiz and his wise drunkard's advice to the seekers of God: In this world of illusion, take nothing other than this cup of wine; <br>In this playhouse, don't play any games but love. 70587 14 8 2001 Drunk on the Wine of the Beloved: Poems of Hafiz total:18|5:0|4:2|3:0|2:0|1:0| 18 74 36 1 5 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Sat Jun 23 11:06:39 -0700 2007 Sat Jun 23 11:09:51 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Thu Nov 19 00:22:16 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 19 00:22:16 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Oct 21 15:18:58 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 21 15:18:58 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 09 01:51:29 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 09 01:51:39 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Sep 06 23:54:08 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 06 23:54:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 25 03:10:44 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 03:10:44 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Aug 19 18:44:06 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 18:44:06 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Aug 03 21:15:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 21:15:00 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Jul 23 12:50:32 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 23 12:50:32 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 03 00:02:52 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 03 00:02:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 19 09:33:52 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 09:33:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Dec 24 18:07:51 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 24 18:07:51 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Nov 27 00:03:36 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 27 00:03:37 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Sat Nov 22 13:10:38 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 22 13:10:38 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Wed Nov 12 20:04:30 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 12 20:04:30 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Mon Dec 08 14:51:08 -0800 2008 Thu Oct 30 10:24:51 -0700 2008 Mon Dec 08 14:51:08 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Oct 18 00:25:51 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 18 00:25:51 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Thu Sep 18 22:16:00 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 18 22:16:00 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Jul 20 17:14:40 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 20 17:14:40 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Jun 17 09:41:53 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 17 09:41:53 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=72916
