I have given away three copies so far because my friends have been so moved by the work when I recite it or read it to them. desertcart prices are half of what my church's bookstore sells it for. This, of course, is a translation of Rumi's writings from the original Persian. To accomplish this requires one who is fluent in both languages and who is himself a poet. Mr. Barks does this brilliantly. The beauty of the poems takes my breath away. Some of the lines contain thoughts (yes a line frequently contains several thoughts) that I spend days or weeks pondering. Those who are looking for love will find perfect expressions of your stage of life. You who are in love will find perfect expressions to share with your partner. You who are seeking to understand the Divine will find much to guide your pondering. There is something for you who are happy with life, sad at the moment, curious, feel deeply connected with the Divine or who have lost your connection. It is such a marvel that I cannot keep it. Review: Daily Readings - For anyone who has an interest in Rumi or has read about him this book provides a daily reading of his poetry. Although some of it is a bit too profound for me (!) I find it wise, sometimes appropriate to my life at the moment, and somewhat like opening any page in any book and pointing. See what you find and follow the message. Of course this is very subjective. Having read The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak, I was prepared for the kind of prophetic messages that this book presents on a daily basis. I also would like to mention that desertcart gave me plenty of options on where to purchase this book which arrived very quickly and in perfect condition. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #26,978 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Sufism (Books) #11 in Middle Eastern Poetry (Books) #33 in Religious Poetry (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (994) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 1.33 x 7.38 inches | | ISBN-10 | 006084597X | | ISBN-13 | 978-0060845971 | | Item Weight | 14.7 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 432 pages | | Publication date | October 31, 2006 | | Publisher | HarperOne | ## Images ![A Year with Rumi: Daily Readings - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91l1vTbHBTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not to be owned but to be shared *by F***T on January 8, 2017* First, I can't seem to keep my copy of Rumi. I have given away three copies so far because my friends have been so moved by the work when I recite it or read it to them. Amazon prices are half of what my church's bookstore sells it for. This, of course, is a translation of Rumi's writings from the original Persian. To accomplish this requires one who is fluent in both languages and who is himself a poet. Mr. Barks does this brilliantly. The beauty of the poems takes my breath away. Some of the lines contain thoughts (yes a line frequently contains several thoughts) that I spend days or weeks pondering. Those who are looking for love will find perfect expressions of your stage of life. You who are in love will find perfect expressions to share with your partner. You who are seeking to understand the Divine will find much to guide your pondering. There is something for you who are happy with life, sad at the moment, curious, feel deeply connected with the Divine or who have lost your connection. It is such a marvel that I cannot keep it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Daily Readings *by C***L on August 28, 2011* For anyone who has an interest in Rumi or has read about him this book provides a daily reading of his poetry. Although some of it is a bit too profound for me (!) I find it wise, sometimes appropriate to my life at the moment, and somewhat like opening any page in any book and pointing. See what you find and follow the message. Of course this is very subjective. Having read The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak, I was prepared for the kind of prophetic messages that this book presents on a daily basis. I also would like to mention that Amazon gave me plenty of options on where to purchase this book which arrived very quickly and in perfect condition. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful, profoundly moving, radiant, transcendent *by P***M on December 31, 2020* This is … so many things: Beautiful, profoundly moving, radiant, transcendent. I also found it heartbreaking at times while somehow, often consoling in the same breath. I actually started reading this in 2019, but missed so many days that I started it over in 2020. And a more propitious time for me to have chosen to read this I can't even imagine, for so many reasons. This book has been one of the things that has helped sustain me in a very difficult year. I plan to read it all over again in 2021, and possibly beyond. Since I'm posting this on Dec. 31, and because I can never think of a better way to recommend or to express the essence of a written work than to share some of it, here is an excerpt from the book. Fittingly, these are the December 30 and December 31 readings. I am particularly partial to the first line (which puts me so much in mind of Leonard Cohen's song "Love Itself" - one of my most beloved songs of all time, and if you don't know it: Go find and listen to it!), and also to the final half of the poem: "Say Who I Am (1) I am dust particles in sunlight I am the round sun. To the bits of dust I say, Stay. To the sun, Keep moving I am the morning mist, and the breathing of evening. I am wind in the top of a grove, and surf on the cliff. Mast, rudder, helmsman, and keel, I am also the coral reef they founder on. I am a tree with a trained parrot in it's branches. Silence, thought, and voice." "Say Who I Am (2) The musical air coming through a flute, a spark off a stone, a flickering in metal. Both candle, and the moth crazy around it. Rose, and the nightingale lost in fragrance. I am all orders of being, the circling galaxy, the evolutionary intelligence, the lift and the falling away. What is and what isn't. You who know Jelaluddin, you the one in all, say you I am. Say I am you." Obviously, I highly, highly recommend <3 ## Frequently Bought Together - A Year with Rumi: Daily Reflections with the Timeless Poetry of Rumi, Featuring 15 Previously Unpublished Poems for Deepening Connection and Inner Journey - The Essential Rumi, New Expanded Edition - Rumi's Little Book of Life: The Garden of the Soul, the Heart, and the Spirit --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1693232-a-year-with-rumi-daily-readings](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1693232-a-year-with-rumi-daily-readings) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
