It's been reported that Rumi (a muslim) is the most popular poet in America right now. Largely due to translations by Coleman Barks, someone from the hills of East Tennessee (where I'm from). He considers himself a Sufi, (a branch of Islam). Coleman might even call himself a r*dneck..he has a great sense of humor, which we all need in these times.
Oh yeah, I recommend "The Essential Rumi" . There you go Bob, I remembered to do the double quotes.
warm regards, Jake
