From the Publisher:
Yunus Emre, called the Minstrel of Sufism, was a simple man
who like Chaucer, was the first poet to write in the common
language of his people. It is believed he lived at the turn
of the 13th century in what is now central Turkey. His songs
are still sung today, beloved for the simplicity and clarity
with which they express the experience of the human heart.
Included in this volume are three poems addressed to Yunus
by later mystics. As testimonial to him, they wrote in perfect
imitation of Emre's own style, making themselves one with
him in reverence. Murat Yagan's translation of Yunus Emre's
hymns, expressed with the compelling rhythms of life, convey
a sense of timeless and spaceless communion with the Divine.
