5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Gift, Aug 21 2001
By kaioatey (Awatovi, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Subject Tonight is Love: 60 Wild and Sweet Poems (Paperback)
Hafiz wrote these poems almost a thousand years ago. Yet, in this beautiful, delicate and passionate translation Ladinsky shows that the most important things in life - joy, beauty, open heartedness, realization of interconnectedness of life - are timeless and that Hafiz's open heart can inspire us as it has countless generations of Persians. Indeed, this book itself is a ladder which we can climb to meet the Friend.

This overwhelmingly beautiful and passionate collection of poetry is sure to alter your view of the world after just one poem. Mr. Ladinsky brings out the joy, humor and sensual nature of Hafiz's writing in a way that will touch your heart and soul forever. After consuming this collection of Love, you will be compelled to pass it along to everyone you meet.

1.0 out of 5 stars DISGUST!, Aug 3 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Subject Tonight is Love: 60 Wild and Sweet Poems (Paperback)
I am a student of Persian at Columbia University, and I love and respect the poetry of Hafiz. I think I will need many more years to understand him correctly. As for Ladinsky, he admits in the introduction that he does not speak Persian and has given up studying it. What would you say about a translator of Shakespeare who does not speak English? However, if you prefer sweet new-age songies about the dolphins, go ahead. You'll love this.
