"Suddenly the drunken sweetheart appeared out of my door.
She drank a cup of ruby wine and sat by my side.
Seeing and holding the lockets of her hair
My face became all eyes, and my eyes all hands."
-Rumi

Since poetry is basically impossible to translate, I think this counts as collaboration. Coleman Barks's sensitive translations of Rumi's Sanskrit have made Rumi's poetry accessible and even powerful for people of our time. #augustphotochallenge #favauthorcollaborations
