Terrorism and the Poet

The great Sufi poet Jelalludin Rumi––whom some consider a saint­­––for the past two decades has often been described as “the most popular poet in the United States.” For some, following September 11, 2001, that popularity stirred feelings of political ambivalence while for others it provided much-needed spiritual comfort. Author and Jungian therapist Connie Zweig presents us with a powerful portrait of Rumi and a demonstration of what the concept of a “jihad” meant to his life in her novel, “A Moth to the Flame, The Life of the Sufi Poet Rumi.” For a full review of the book, please visit here: http://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=33673&AuthorID=25279
