5⭐️ this is not your typical Neil Gaiman and read. But that doesn‘t take away from this at all. This is super short, and the thought put behind writing this poem is just as beautiful as the poem was itself. If you have five minutes, pick up this book. I checked it out for free on hoopla.
What a beautiful collection of poems!
Going into this, I was only vaguely familiar with Rumi and his poetry. I was always curious about his work and I‘m happy I finally read it.
I love that the translator gave a ton of context to the poems. The book opens with notes on the transliteration, Rumi‘s life, and on the poems.

That morning I heard water being poured into a teapot.
The sound was an ordinary, daily, cluffy sound.
But all at once I knew you loved me.
An unheard-of thing, love audible in water falling.
