This text is edited by Stephen Mitchell who writes in the introduction to this 1989 volume: "Most of what we call religious poetry is the poetry of longing: for God, for the mother's face. But the poetry in 'The Enlightened Heart' are poems of fulfillment. They are written by the Secret who has many aliases." Included in this anthology are selections from the Upanishads; the Book of Psalms; Taoist and Buddhist masters; Rumi and other Sufi teachers; Christian poets Francis of Assisi, Dante, and George Herbert; and modern poets such as Gerard Manley Hopkins, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Wallace Stevens. These sacred poems are artfully read by Coleman Barks, Peter Coyote, Ram Dass, Dorothy Fadiman, Robert Hass, Jane Hirshfield, Stephen Mitchell, and Jacob Needleman. Bravo!
