Summary

The friendship between these two saints of the Sufi tradition was a continuous conversation, in silence and words, presence talking to absence, existence to non-existence, periphery to center. This collection features dozens of newly translated poems interspersed with legends and stories of their lives, presenting an intimate portrait of their communion and allowing readers to eavesdrop on their unique spiritual dialogue.
