Mirabai by Robert Bly
Mirabai is a literary and spiritual figure of legendary proportions. Born a princess in the region of Rajasthan in 1498, Mira (as she is more commonly known) eschewed the marriage her royal family had arranged for her, celebrating instead her right to independence and intense devotion to Krishna in both her life and poetry. In this collection, Robert Bly and Jane Hirshfield, two of America's best poets, have created lively English versions of Mirabai's poems, using fresh images and energetic rhythms to make them accessible to modern readers.The Beauty, Come, Thief, After, and Given Sugar, Given Salt are among Jane Hirschfield's eight collections of poetry. She is the author of two significant collections of articles, Nine Gates: Accessing the Mind of Poetry and Ten Windows: How Great Poems Change the World, and has edited and cotranslated four books showcasing the work of former poets. Her books have been nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award and the T. S. Eliot Prize in England.
