RUMI-nating

Jelaluddin Rumi has come to be recognized in the West, as he has been in the East since the 13th Century, for his extraordinary life as a mystic and poet. He has been called the most popular poet in the U.S. today, and for good reason: with passion and clarity, and oftentimes great humor, Rumi uncovered the human soul, explored intricate theological questions, and commented on everything from the profane to the sublime.
