Kabir Ecstatic Poems

by Robert Bly

Originally published in 1976 and having sold more than 75,000 copies to date, Kabir is a classic. This revised, beautifully designed hardcover edition includes 10 new translations. A weaver by trade but a poet-singer by calling, Kabir lived in fifteenth-century India. His philosophy incorporated the beliefs and practices of both Muslims and Hindus. Not only did Kabir influence these religious traditions, he was one of the major inspirations behind Sikhism as well.
