Many Sufi books are written by academics from a technical standpoint; this one however is different. It is written by a mystic who has been inspired since a boy by his love of poetry which has made his life a search for beauty; this dearch culminating in his long study of Sufi Mysticism considered by him to be the acme of all mystic poetry. This book has in it many inspiring passages both poetry and prose. Short biographies are included with examples of the work of the main Sufi Mystics as well as brief commentaries for the reader who will also gain on overall knowledge of Sufi Literature.
