One need not be Christian or Muslim or whatever to appreciate his poetry with its deep feelings of connectedness and love of lif
Format: Paperback
The book has a lovely, reasonably long, introduction to Hafiz, his time, and fellow poets which helps to create an open and curious mind for the poems that follow. Although I was familiar with several Hafiz poems before, most of this book was new to me. It is a fairly thick book, with the poems spread lightly on the pages. Plenty of white space surrounds and set off the poems so that although there are many, many poems in the book, they are not crowded.
Hafiz celebrates god in a way that is rich and exuberant. One need not be Christian or Muslim or whatever to appreciate his poetry with its deep feelings of connectedness and love of life. In fact, as a Buddhist, I find it is exactly that sensitivity to life, to joy, to the world around, and to other beings around us that offers the greatest illumination. This poetry is wonderful to read just before sleep, or any time, and is a fine addition to any library.

Absolutely beautiful poetic translation occasionally marred by silly attempts at contemporary relevance
Format: Paperback
Poetry is something I seldom read, but the range of philosophical and religious reflection in Hafiz' writing is amazing, delightful, and life-affirming. Not every poem is equally rewarding, but how could they be? The translations make these ancient short poems speak to the present day, but sometimes too much so--using terms that have only come into our language in the 20th or 21st centuries at times borders on "cutsie", which distracts from the true meaning. When Ladinsky sticks to standard and time-tested language and grammar, his translations have much deeper impact, for me anyway. I have not read other translations of Hafiz, but I imagine previous ones are full of "thee's" and "thou's", and less erudite perspectives. I highly recommend this book--for me is has more understanding and depth concerning daily living than Rumi, for instance. Just beware that there are some shockingly off-the-mark, if sincere, attempts to make this ancient poetry relevant to us now. Ladinsky apparently spent years working on this book, so my hat is off to his scholarship.

I love The Gift of Hafiz by Daniel Landinsky
I am Persian and I love the poetry of Hafiz but the book Gift is the first book I read in English language translated by Daniel Ladinsky. As a Persian who is born and raised knowing the poetry of Hafiz by heart and in their original tongue, I really enjoyed reading the book and appreciated the interpretations and translation.
Daniel Ladinsky is an American poet known as interpreter of mystical poetry born and raised in Saint Louise. He has said “the poet who I have worked most with is the 14th century Persian poet Hafiz. And Goethe has said, Hafiz has no peer. And I think Goethe knew what he was talking about”.
Daniel Ladinsky has written many other books about Hafiz which are unique and many have come to know about this great Persian Master more glorious in the English language. In a rare interview on October 2013 with the Sun Magazine, Daniel Ladinsky shares about his spiritual longing, his encounter with a living saint in India who inspired him to work on Hafiz. In his preface of “The Gift” he invites us to join him in his fantastic applause of life and says “I vote to inscribe these words of Hafiz on every flag, church bell, temple, mosque, and politician’s brain:
Dear ones, let’s anoint this earth with dance!
I recommend the book "Gift" to everyone who enjoys poetry.

Do God a favor
Thanks to ladinsky for making the essence of Hafiz accessible to the English reader. For a select some, the purpose of Hafiz's poems is the supernal transportation that takes place in the heart, mind and soul of the seeker. A simple reader of Hafiz may appreciate a more mundane rendition; but a Lover comes to Hafiz to be lost in his drunkenness. ladinsky's interpretations above and outside of translations renders the Realm for the English reader. For hearts seeking higher service to the Friend this indeed is all that matters and yes, our hearts do joy at the criticism of those who yet court the kiss of the King for they are still engaged in the evolution back into essence and oh how the heart does dance at the thought of these.
Wayfarer, do God, the "field of holiness" and all creation a favor, purchase this friend's every interpretation of Hafiz and devotionally devour massive morsels until the Final Friend causes YOU to spit out spontaneous sputterings of His own. But don't hurry or worry, for the process may take months or millennia but eventually all will evolve back home to Him.
In joy enjoy in-Joy. Dear one read through that last line again, breathe through that last line again. It is far far deeper than most know.

Works like a dream!
Size: 2 Pack Combo Pack
This is an absolutely amazing alternative to drinking water later in the evening and in the middle of the night! As long as you don’t actually need the hydration, this gets the saliva going with a light minty flavor that allows you to minimize water intake that disrupts sleep. I got my 80yo mom to try it when she had surgery that made it difficult for her to get up by herself (nighttime), and she was so pleased!
This also works very well for people who suffer from dry mouth due to medication. The 2 pack is really nice- one for home, one for my purse!
