About the book

Eastern Love Poems is a collection celebrating the rich traditions of romantic and devotional poetry from the cultures of the East. The poems explore love in many forms, from passionate desire and longing to spiritual devotion and the pain of separation. Drawing on traditions in which love poetry often blends the earthly with the mystical, the collection reflects recurring images of beauty, gardens, wine, night, music and the beloved. The result is both lyrical and evocative, offering a wide-ranging introduction to poetic traditions very different from those of Western Europe.
