The Great Sufi Poet

THE GREAT SUFI POET: NESIMI Selected Poems (Large Print & Large Format Edition) Translation & Introduction Paul Smith Nesimi (1369-1417) is one of the greatest mystical poets and one of the most prominent early masters in Turkish/Azerbaijani literary history. For Nesimi at the centre of Creation there was God, who bestowed His Light on man. Through sacrifice and self-perfection, man can become one with Him. As a direct result of his beliefs he was skinned alive. His tomb in Aleppo remains an important place of pilgrimage. His work consists of two collections of poems, one in Persian and the most important in Turkish that is of 250-300 ghazels and about 175 roba'is and some mesnevis. After his death his work continued to exercise an influence on Turkish language poets and Sufis. The 600th anniversary of his birth was celebrated by UNESCO. The Introduction is on his Life & Times & Poetry and the Forms in which he wrote. The correct rhyme-structure has been kept and the meaning of these beautiful, mystical poems.
