{"product_id":"mirabai-isbn-9780807063873","title":"Mirabai","description":"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.We are so fortunate that two magnificent poets have been drawn to Mirabai's music. Like two twining flutes, Robert Bly and Jane Hirshfield ignite these subtle, surrendered-heart notes.—Coleman Barks, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Drowned Book\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Essential Rumi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Bly\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the groundbreaking \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eIron John\u003c\/i\u003e, which launched the men's movement to national fame, as well as several collections of original poetry, most recently,\u003ci\u003eThe Night Abraham Called to the Stars: Poems\u003c\/i\u003e.
