Offering an authoritative and yet accessible analysis of the poetry of Yunus Emre, this book presents a comprehensive understanding of his poetry as well as the immense influence this important 13th century saint-poet has had in the Sufi tradition, from his own day until the present. Many of the poems of Yunus Emre portray the experiences and adventures of humankind on the way to becoming perfect human beings in their journey to the Beloved.
The ardent, deceptively, simple, yet powerful expressions of love and the musicality of the poetry of Yunus Emre resonate through the ages and transcend the boundaries of time and place. His poetry is attractive both to those who are familiar with Sufi tradition and to those who are not. This is the strength and beauty of this poetry, and on the poet's part, this might be something that was intentionally constructed to attract more readers/listeners, and to bring the ideas to a broader audience.
