Rumi's Poems are legendary. Great collection in this book if you don't know them yet, want them in one place or generally like poetry.

Poesia é um tipo de leitura que nem sempre me agrada, mas, volta e meia, eu me disponho a conhecer novos autores e encontrar 'The Love Poems of Rumi' foi uma enorme alegria. Eu simplesmente amei amei amei. Muitos poemas falaram diretamente comigo e eu me encantei. Gostei muito dessa leitura.

Rumi’s work has always felt like a cosy, snuggly blanket against the world. I had no doubt that I would like this book too, and I was right.
For poetry lovers, Rumi is probably the King. But I’d resonate him with the youngest prince who is still lavishly royal but has not a care in the world and pursues arts and culture over the court.

Beautiful and poignant as always - exactly what you would expect from Rumi. Depth, layers, heart break and heart soar. This is the perfect companion for eliciting heart angst, heart feels, illustrating heart woes... I can't help but think everyone who want to know and write about love should read this one, just to get to feel the width and breadth love in all its forms can take

I keep hearing about Rumi’s poetry, but I haven’t had the chance to pick up one of his poetry collections yet. And of course, I’m a romantic at heart so, I’m all about love poetry. So, this book was my introduction to Rumi’s poetry.

First, I want to talk about the book itself, the publishing house paid a lot of attention to details. Each page is beautiful. The collection is divided into two parts, the first one is called “Dancing the Flame” and contains short poems that are no longer than 10 lines. On the other, the last part, “Fountain of Fire” contains longer poems which I wasn’t really a big fan of. I preferred his short poems which resonated with me much more.

Overall, I liked this collection and enjoy the first part. Although, I found some poems were weirdly worded, I don’t know if it was a translation issue or something else, but it didn’t sound natural to me.

The Love Poems of Rumi is another installment in this series of books written by Rumi and translated by Nader Khalili.
In this version it features the love poems by Rumi. I have been a fan of Rumis poetry for afew years now and thoroughly enjoyed this book. I came across many new to me poems and felt the emotions through the turns of each page.
The decor of the book is warm, bright and inviting too.

This is a lovely edition of love poems by Rumi, using the translation by Nader Khalili. The beautiful Islamic designs on each page highlight the poems well. This would make a great gift!

The translator has done a phenomenal job of sharing Rumi's book of love poems with the world. Intricate detail within each page. Anyone interested in reading poetry, especially by of the most popular of all time, will love this. A beautiful, artful book with graphics on each page.

Rumi has a beautiful collection of poetry. Their use of language really helps to set the imagery and imagination of the prose. A collection that I feel everyone will find poems that they can relate to and enjoy. A collection that can be picked up and enjoyed whenever in the mood for a poem. Both uplifting and thought provoking.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Let me start by saying I'm not a big poet person. Most poems bore me ... They just don't speak to me. It was my most dreaded section in high school English and maybe that's why I struggle with it today .... Maybe if I hadn't been forced to analyze then to death then, I'd be able to enjoy them today.

With all that said, Rumi is the one poet whose works move me. Beautiful and eloquent prose, Rumi truly was a matter not only for the time, but for all time. This is a great collection of his most beautiful works. Enjoy!

I've been a fan of Rumi's poetry for many years and thought this collection was a beautiful selection of his work. Those familiar with his words will love it, as will those just discovering his verse.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Wellfleet Press for the ARC.

Seriously in love with everything Rumi writes. They can do absolutely no wrong. Beautiful insightful page turning. Highly recommend. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Beautifully written, poetry that makes you reflect on what love is and what it means to be in love it's heavy to get through as it is a translation after all but still beautiful.
