These collections of the poetry of Dr. Nurbakhsh, written over a period of 25 years, communicate through symbolic expressions the depth of Sufi spirituality, the inner states of mystical love, and the Unity of Being. Both books are accompanied by calligraphy of the original poems in Persian.
"In contrast to vague and dreamy Americanized ideas about Sufism, the books of Dr. Nurbakhsh stand for the real thing. His books reflect the magnificence of Persian thought - and the harsh truths of the genuine Sufi path. In the Tavern of Ruin and Sufism II are particularly great."
-- Robert Bly, poet and writer.
