Who is best to hear from but the one who made Rumi his exclusive nourishment! Barks, 70, often describes himself as "just one of God's funny family," a sentence used by Bawa Muhaiyaddeeen, Coleman's spiritual teacher who had immense inspiration in bringing Rumi to the English readers. Coleman Barks is a retired Professor of Creative Writing & Poetry in the University of Georgia and has been a student of Sufism since 1977.“If Rumi is the most read poet in America today, Coleman Barks is in good part responsible.

| | The Last Question to Bawa | Coleman Barks | | 2008-01-05 00:00:32 | | .... The last question I asked Bawa before his death on December 8, 1986 , was about his eyes."Will what I see in your eyes ever come up behind mine and look out through me?"He used that most profound pun in English to answer, "When I (eye) become a we."My strongest memory of the rainy afternoon we buried Bawa is of the amazing light in everybody's eyes. Enlightened beings who live their souls so deeply surely continue to live in the eyes of those who love them.- Coleman Barks in the introduction of his book of Rumi's poetry, The Glance: Songs of Soul-Meeting.+ Coleman and Rumi | “These poems need to be released from their cages.” That is what American poet Robert Bly told University of Georgia professor and poet Coleman Barks in 1976, when he handed him translations of the Sufi poet and mystic, Jalaluddin Rumi.And so began a friendship, carried on through a deep and continuing conversation between these two poets: one a contemporary American, the other a Persian, born in the country now known as Afghanistan in the 13th Century. Professor Barks freed these ancient poems from their confines with intuitive, clarifying understanding, and with the unspoken intimacy that only true friends encounter. (credit)+ About Bawa | Muhammad Raheem Bawa Muhaiyaddeen was a revered Sufi saint from the island of Sri Lanka who shared his knowledge and experience with people of every race and religion and from all parts of the world.

What's unknown to many is the connection between his work on Rumi and the vision of his teacher Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, whom even Coleman never met prior to the dream. Manifesting in dream of disciple of the master is something which is well documented in sufi experience and literature, but coming from a westerner of our time is something worth noting. It testifies the fact that the esoteric dimensions keeps manifesting in all ages when appropriate. read this extra-ordinary experience from Coleman himself. Duncan Campbell: One of the things that I thought might be of interest to our listeners is to tell the story perhaps, for openers as to how you came to Rumi's poetry.Coleman Barks: Well, I've told that story in several places. And it's got at least three strands to it ...... I had this dream in which I was sleeping by the Tennessee River.
