Showing results for "Caravan" in Literary History & Criticism

Persian Poetry Caravan brings Persian poems, wisdom, and emotion into simple English. In Season 1, we begin with Hafez, also known as Hafiz, one of the most beloved poets of Persia. Each episode shares poetic English translations, calm narration, soft music, and short explanations for listeners who love Persian poetry, Sufi poetry, spiritual poetry, and timeless literature. Join the caravan as we travel through the world of Hafez, Rumi, Ferdowsi, Saadi, Khayyam, and the great voices of Persian literature.

Poetry doesn’t matter to most people, observes Jay Parini at the opening of this book. But, undeterred, he commences a deeply felt meditation on poetry, its language and meaning, and its power to open minds and transform lives. By the end of the book, Parini has recovered a truth often obscured by our clamorous culture: without poetry, we live only partially, not fully conscious of the possibilities that life affords.
