One Song by Michael Green
The extensive body of work by 13th-century mystic poet Jelaluddin Rumi continues to fascinate readers with a taste for the spiritual, and his writings, which speak passionately of truth, enlightenment, and love for God, appeal to those of all religions. Translations of Rumis writings by the contemporary poet Coleman Barks have sold more than 500,000 copies since 1981. Now acclaimed illustrator Michael Green -- who collaborated with Barks on The Illuminated Rumi -- has produced a new and fabulous mystic fusion of sacred poetry and art. This all-new volume features rare poems of Rumi, some of which have never before been translated. There are many collections of Rumis poetry, but few are illustrated-and none as gorgeously as this full-color book. It is well positioned to capture the favor of spiritual seekers of all ages, including todays spiritually adventurous young adults.
Michael Green has written extensively on Nevada and Las Vegas, including their connections to organized crime, in books and articles. His Nevada: A History of the Silver State is the first completely new Nevada textbook in 25 years and a Choice academic selection. He has appeared as an on-camera expert for PBS's History Detectives Special Investigations and Al Capone: Icon, for AMC's The Making of the Mob: New York and The Making of the Mob: Chicago, and The Travel Channel's Mysteries at the Museum, among others programs. In addition to teaching courses on the subject(s) of organized crime and Las Vegas, he is a member of the board of directors and chair of the content committee for the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, better known as The Mob Museum, in Las Vegas. At its opening ceremony, the museum's executive director said it would have been impossible to open the museum without his work on it. Green is Associate Professor of History at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. He earned his PhD at Columbia University.
