Title: Nothing but lies
Review: Ladinsky is an impostor using the name of Hafiz to promote his own poetry. It is not a question whether his poetry is good or bad (to me, it seems mainly as badly digested remnants of Rumi, which he has somehow tried to ascribe to a completely different poet) it is a question about literary honesty. It's as if I would write a drama under the pen name of Shakespeare, claiming that "it is written in the spirit of the playwright". Of course anyone would have recognised me as an impostor if I did - it is a sad testimony to the Western neglect of Hafiz and Iranian culture in general that not more people have detected Ladinsky's hoax ...
