About this ebook
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.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Mirabai is no less an important poet than Kabir, Rumi or Hafiz. This is a book of ecstatic poems to her Lover Krishna. Friend, listen: this love doesn't come or go.One sip from the cup of that sweetness, the world starts to spin.Now I'm drunk for life. Unsoberable. Tell them it's useless to try.
