Maybe 3.5 stars. A couple of great pieces. And several I liked quite a bit. But just as many that were real WTF moments for me.

I love Hafiz and I love Daniel Landisky's translations of Hafiz. I randomly found a copy of this at a library book sale and I was SO DELIGHTED. I knew I would love this and I did.
I don't know what new can be said about Hafiz at this point, but to me he speaks of our deep capacity for joy and affection -- and even sometimes gives some still quite relevant advice. I'm not sure if he has ever failed to raise my spirits.

My first ever poetry collection and I really loved it! I looooved the first half of this and found it so beautiful and personally meaningful. I had to stop several times to take it all in and one poem actually made me tear up, which I was not expecting at all. The second half of the collection wasn't as great for me. It was very repetitious and lacked those profound moments I found in the first half. However, all in all I really enjoyed it and it wasn't intimidating at all so I recommend it to fellow poetry newbies :)
