Known for his profound mystical wisdom combined with a sublime sensuousness, Hafiz was the supreme master of a poetic form known as the ghazal (pronounced guzzle), an ode or song consisting of rhymed couplets celebrating divine love. In this selection of his poems, wine and the intoxication it brings are the image that expresses this love in all its joyful abandon, painful longing, bewilderment, and surrender. Through ninetyfive freeverse renditions, we gain entry into the mystical world of Hafizs Winehouse, with its happy minstrels, its bewitching Winebringer, and its companions in drunken longing whose hearts cry out, More wine! Thomas Rain Crowe brings a new dimension to our growing appreciation of Hafiz and his wise drunkards advice to the seekers of God:In this world of illusion, take nothing other than this cup of wine;In this playhouse, dont play any games but love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shambhala Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45901652656326,"sku":"DADAX157062853X","price":22.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/61f_BeIXtCL.jpg?v=1780326787","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/drunk-on-the-wine-of-the-beloved-100-poems-of-hafiz","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
