Persian Sufi Poetry
An Introduction to the Mystical Use of Classical Persian Poems
Language: English
Release Date: January 14, 2014
Focuses on the poems rather than on their authors. Surveys the development of Persian mystical poetry, dealing first with the relation between Sufism and literature and then with the four main genres of the tradition: the epigram, the homiletic poem, love poetry and symbolic narrative.
