Rumi: Unseen Poems by Rumi

3.0

I got a copy from NetGalley of unseen Rumi Poems. Since I hadn't read his work, I figured this was a good place as any to start. I have to say maybe it was the collection I read, but although I like his style, I'm not passionate about all his topics. His work seems to focus on love (of God, and of others) as well as what makes life good, and enjoyable. While I did enjoy the poems of the latter, most of his God focus poems read like prayers or religious text with references to different religions/beliefs. The collection itself was well accomplished, as well as the translations, which are not an easy task.
