Hafiz’s Little Book of Life: Hafiz, translated by Erfan Mojib & Gary Gach

Hafiz’s Little Book of Life gathers short selections from the poetry of Hafiz of Shiraz in English translations by Erfan Mojib and Gary Gach. The poems move through love, spiritual longing, wit and the pleasures and difficulties of living.

Published by Hampton Roads, the collection includes material on Hafiz’s life and times, translators’ notes, a glossary and an appendix on the poet’s use as an oracle. It offers an introduction to his verse rather than a complete edition of his collected works.
