Der Autor über sein Buch

Vibrant, contemporary rendering of love poetry of Hafiz
Though he lived seven hundred years ago, Hafiz is still the most popular poet of Persia, and one of the greatest love poets who ever lived. This little book is perhaps the best introduction to his life and work. The poems of Hafiz overflow with a profound appreciation of the beauty and richness of life when seen through the eyes of love. With unerring insight, he explores the feelings and motives associated with every level of love, tracing each nuance of emotion in depth and detail. His poetry outlines the stages of the mystic's "path of love" - that journey of inner unfolding in which love dissolves personal boundaries and limitations to join larger processes of growth and transformation. Through these processes, human love becomes divine love and the lover merges ultimately with the source and goal of all love, which Hafiz calls the Divine Beloved. Dan Ladinsky has rendered sixty of these poems in a vibrant contemporary American idiom, and the editor has added a concise, informative essay about the poet's life and times.

5.0 von 5 Sternen I heard God Laughing: Renderings of Hafiz, 1. Mai 2000
I recently read other reviews and found them over worded. I have a much simpler approach. If you would like to dance with God spend a few moments of your precious life with Hafiz's renderings. It's time well spent!

5.0 von 5 Sternen Hafiz, a great poet, 5. Juni 1999
Von Ein Kunde
A few years ago a news reporter ran an interesting demo on the working of human mind using an elephant and an "Art scholar". The painting created by elephant was framed and put in a gallery and then the Art specialist was asked to give his opinion about the work of art. The scholar went on giving his elaborate and highly abstract and sophisticated interpretation of the art work. The reporter later informed him who the real artist was and if he really thought that the elephant had all those abstract principles when he was splashing the paint. I guess the moral of the story is that when one deals with "art" one has to be very careful not to read into the art work his own particular background or culture. I have seen people who read Hafiz and understand his poems in a manner which resembles very much the "elephant" demo. True that every one can read Hafiz and find something in it that would seem to relate to his/her life but one has to distinguish between seeing Hafiz in his poems and seeing their own image in the mirror of his poetry. I guess we have to be careful not to attribute to Hafiz what he was not or take from him something that he was. It is also said that Hafiz is a universal man, this claim is not, however, made by Hafiz himself. Hafiz and his thoughts are as much a "universal" as was the painting of the elephant. Only the elephant's art work can truly be universal because the elephant had nothing in mind when he created it, and precisely because of this " nothingness" the work can be considered universal. I am not sure if Hafiz had evolved enough to have reached the ranking of an elephant. To "accurately" understand Hafiz one has to understand the spiritual universe which he was part of and the path that he took, a path that he says he followed faithfully and painfully for forty years before the "unveiling" took place and he saw the fire in the remote mountain emanating from the burning bush. If one wishes to understand Hafiz, as Hafiz sees himslef, either one has to become his true companion in this path, or at least be as much knowledgable as possible about that spiritual universe which gave birth to him, anything else would be wishful thinking and self flattery.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Hafiz trues the course of our journey towards Love, 21. Dezember 1998
Von Ein Kunde
So much beauty! In this joyous book Hafiz appears to us as a beacon of pure light in contemporary garb. These deeply tender, witty, clear-eyed and fullest-hearted renditions have brightened my life. Hafiz can't help but true the course on our journey towards living Love. Because for him, in fact, nothing else exists. For Hafiz, only Love is Real.

Hafiz has influenced and nourished a great many through the years. In the West, inspired notables include Goethe, Nietzsche, Byron, Hugo and Emerson. Emerson wrote of Hafiz in his journals, "He fears nothing. He sees too far; he sees throughout; such is the only man I wish to see and be." And Goethe exclaimed, "This is madness, I know well, Hafiz has no peer!"

_I Heard God Laughing_ is a perfect gem of a book. Go ahead. Take Hafiz home with you. Why--he may even lead the way, dancing and singing all the while.
