And for tomorrow night as well
As a matter of fact
I know of no better topic
For us to discuss
Until we all

Hafiz in The Subject Tonight is Love - 60 Wild and Sweet Poems of HafizAnd for tomorrow night as well

To Persians, the fourteenth-century poems of Hafiz are not classical literature from a remote past, but cherished love, wisdom, and humor from a dear and intimate friend. Perhaps more than any other Persian poet, it is Hafiz who most fully accesses the mystical, healing dimensions of poetry, earning him the name "The Tongue of the Invisible" .
Daniel Landinsky has made it his life's work to create modern, inspired translations of the world's most profound spiritual poetry. Through Landinsky's translations, Hafiz's voice comes alive across the centuries singing his message of love.
