These lofty words are an antidotefor anyone sickened by extremism's poison.Considered by Rumi to be the master of Sufi mystic poetry, Attar is best known for this epic poem, a magnificent allegorical tale about the souls search for meaning. He recounts the perilous journey of the worlds birds to the faraway peaks of Mount Qaf in search of the mysterious Simorgh, their king. Attars beguiling anecdotes and humor intermingle the sublime with the mundane, the spiritual with the worldly, while his poem models the souls escape from the minds rational embrace.Sholeh Wolp recreates for modern readers the beauty and timeless wisdom of the original Persian, in contemporary English verse and poetic prose.
