Why is a 700-year-old mystic named Jelaluddin Rumi the #1-selling poet in America? The answer to that question is simple: Coleman Barks. From his immensely popular translations of Rumi to his featured appearances on public television, this award-winning poet has almost single-handedly brought ecstatic Sufi poetry into the mainstream of English-language readers. On I Want Burning, listeners will join Coleman Barks in an inspired evening featuring three literary legends of the 14th-century Middle East: Jelaluddin Rumi; Hafiz (the all-time favorite poet of the Persian world); and Lalla, the astonishing Kashmiri woman poet, singer, and dancer. Includes more than fifty poems, accompanied by vocals, pan flute, harmonium bells, and hand drums.
