Customer Reviews
It's beautiful, but it's NOT Hafiz - Rated These are lovely poems, but beware - they are NOT by Hafiz - the 13th century Sufi master - and these are NOT translations. They are 20th century American poems, and they stand perfectly well on their own. There is not one single word of Hafiz in any of them, and it is a shame that Ladinsky lies about the provenance of his work - it detracts from it. Hafiz writes the most elegant Farsi ghazals, and is honoured (600 years after his death) as the greatest Persian lyric poet. If you want Hafiz, check Peter Avery - he has done true translations. Ladinsky is Ladinsky - he's good, and I recommend the book, but he's not Hafiz, and he's not translating Hafiz, so don't be fooled.
