Title: Essential is Right
Product review: Barks does an excellent job with the translation, bring the beauty of Rumi's original poems into English for us. Many times I've been too stunned with the glory of it all to continue reading.Although much of the translation is wonderful, a lot of it is not as great. I don't know who was having the off days - Barks or Rumi, but someone messed up what could have been a masterpiece. That's the only reason this work doesn't deserve 5 stars. Other than that, it is great.
