He has been described as one of the bestselling poets in numerous regions. His poems, mostly written in Persian, have been translated in a number of languages. In Essential Rumi, the spiritual and ecstatic poetry by this legendary poet have been comprehensively listed with a new introduction by Coleman Barks. 81 poems that have never been published before are included in this new revised edition of the one-volume edition.
