I just sing about god.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMy road is the road where the saints walk, and I'm taking it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e--Mirabai \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe sixteenth-century poet and saint Mirabai has long been an iconic figure in India. Tagore famously named his daughter after her and praised her as a figure of female liberation; Gandhi referenced her in speeches on nonviolence and anti-colonialism--her songs were sung in his ashrams. Today her poems continue to be sung by Bollywood singers, folk musicians, and ordinary people. In Blue like My Beloved, the poet-translator and scholar Chloe Martinez--who spent decades studying, absorbing, and translating Mirabai's work--has compiled a selection of Mirabai's poetry that includes her greatest hits alongside lesser-known poems. The collection spans the range of Mirabai's moods and themes in a vibrant poetry of intimacy and visionary perception that burns with a lasting brilliance akin to that of Rumi or Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Blue Like My Beloved","offer_id":50937959874757,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/978-0-8112-4043-7.jpg?v=1794359842","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/blue-like-my-beloved","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
