Synopsis

First published internationally in Tagore’s own translation, these prose poems brought the Bengali poet and mystic worldwide recognition, including the Nobel Prize in 1913. The writing is described as moving and heartfelt, with rhythms, phrasing and imagery that can feel almost biblical.

An affinity is also drawn with the work of Blake and Gibran, suggesting a lyrical, visionary quality throughout the selection. This edition also notes inclusion of a selection from the Common Core State Standards Initiative, and is well suited to readers seeking classic spiritual and poetic writing.
