About the Persian Mystical Poetry Series
This series presents Persian mystical poetry in a way that is both accessible and intellectually grounded. While we remain open to producing complete translations of an author’s entire works, our primary aim is more focused: we offer thematic translations, annotations, and commentaries drawn from Persian mystic poets, within a tradition where philosophy and mysticism take shape through poetic expression. Translating and explaining an entire poetic corpus, such as the full Divan of Rumi, requires an immense investment of time and scholarly labor. For that reason, such projects are rare, and few translators can carry them through. To meet this challenge, we adopt a different model. Each volume concentrates on one central theme within a poet’s work. It typically presents between thirty and fifty poems, together with the translator’s explanations, either as restrained annotations or as more detailed, line-by-line commentaries. Throughout, we aim to ground the poems in the poet’s broader intellectual corpus and in the historical and spiritual tradition from which they emerge. We also write with two audiences in mind. Our goal is to produce translations and studies that speak to general readers as well as scholars; we aim to be theoretically informed, yet practically useful. For this reason, even when the material is demanding, the language across the series is adjusted to the public, without giving up conceptual precision or interpretive seriousness.
