This CD is terrific! The music is very beautiful and the poems are deeply moving. The effect is mesmerizing. I love the world music influences and combination of various sounds. The voices are very soulful . The CD booklet is wonderful, sharing images of the poets as well as biographic info and the poems. I look forward to taking the Mystic Poets class and attending the concert. This CD really spoke to me. I highly recommend it.

I love this CD! It touches so deeply into my heart. The music is the perfect complement to the poetry of these sages. The songs are so beautiful, I find myself singing them all the time. The entire presentation is so incredibly professional, visually as well as being a gift to the air and to the soul.

Congratulations on the release of your Mystic Poets CD!

Over the years, whenever I would visit bookstores, I would seek out collections of translations of poetry by mystical poets such as Kabir, Rumi, and others. But when these books of poetry found their place in my home, found their way into my home, but too often, were unopened.

You have created Poetry-in-Motion by combining original translations of Sufi-inspired poetry with soulful, uplifting music.
It has universal appeal and perhaps, is a genre of its own because,
the Sound of Bhakti is the sound of love and devotion. It's
