For the final book of #asianpacificamericanheritagemonth, I yearn for Rumi. The way our discourse leaves out West Asia perpetuates an us vs them divide. The "Middle East" is a colonial invention. I wanted to read an Edward Said book (Palestinian cultural critic) but I ran out of time, and so sharing some poems of Rumi, which I do periodically because his words dance to me.

When I want to feel inspired this is what I gravitate towards! Not something to read all at once but definitely in pieces.

Amazing. Originally read for pleasure and then turned it into a school assignment. Some of the best love poetry I've ever read.

This is one of my favorite books of Rumi's, quite possibly because it was the first one I read. It is personal and profound, and leaves the reader yearning to join with Rumi in seeking the connection to the Beloved.
