Experience thirteenth-century mystical poet Rumi as you never have before – through the resonant, whiskey-and-syrup voice of Coleman Barks who is a preeminent poet, scholar, and celebrated interpreter of Rumi’s work. He is a bard in the truest sense of the word.
Coleman’s work sparked an American Rumi renaissance and made Rumi the best-selling poet in the US today. Globally, Rumi’s fans are legion.
Coleman’s extraordinary recitation is soulfully accompanied by the music of David Darling, a Grammy Award-winning artist who connects the earthy incense of Rumi’s words with the celestial strings of the cello. In this exquisite performance, Heaven and Earth unite in one of the most stunningly beautiful expressions of music and poetry that you will ever experience.
