520    Jelaluddin Rumi was born in the year 1207 and until the 
       age of thirty-seven was a brilliant scholar and popular 
       teacher. But his life changed forever when he met the 
       powerful wandering dervish, Shams of Tabriz, of whom Rumi 
       said, "What I had thought of before as God, I met today in
       a human being." From this mysterious and esoteric 
       friendship came a new height of spiritual enlightenment. 
       When Shams disappeared, Rumi began his transformation from
       scholar to artist, and his poetry began to fly. Today, the
       ecstatic poetry of Jelaluddin Rumi is more popular than 
       ever, and Coleman Barks, through his musical and magical 
       translations, has been instrumental in bringing this 
       exquisite literature to devoted followers. Now, for the 
       first time, Barks has gathered the essential poems of Rumi
       and put them together in this wonderful comprehensive 
       collection that delights with playful energy and unequaled
       passion. The Essential Rumi offers the most beautiful 
       rendering of the primary poetry of Rumi to both devoted 
       enthusiasts and novice readers. Poems about everything 
       from bewilderment, emptiness, and silence to flirtation, 
       elegance, and majesty are presented with love, humor, 
       warmth, and tenderness. Take in the words of Jelaluddin 
       Rumi and feel yourself transported to the magical, 
       mystical place of a whirling, ecstatic poet.
