Paperback. Etat : Good. Sweet On My Lips: The Love Poems of Mirabai, a selection of poems written by 16th Century Mirabai, in Braja Basa or Middle Hindi, translated fr. the original by Louise Landes Levi. Mira Bai, an Indian princess turned poet/ rebel adept, the most significant female voice in the Bhakti Kal or yoga of love that swept through No. India in the 16th century. In addition to the translations, Sweet presents historic and linguistic contexts that deepen our understanding, of this period & of the language in which the poems were written, a revolutionary use of the spoken tongue liberating the populace from social & religious systems largely defined by caste prerogative & Bhramanic male preference.this book will help the West to understand the culture of the East. Shrimata Annapurna Devi, in a letter. ca. 1998Mirabai's spiritual vision and poetic genius shine through these pages. Verses of wounded pathos and soaring ecstasy are rendered here as vividly as if they had been spoken yesterday, yet with the incantatory power of sacred text. Levi's translations, brilliant in their lucidity, usher the reader directly into the heart of Mira's rare, impassioned devotion. - Miranda Shaw. Author of Passionate Enlightenment.The West has St. Teresa d'Avila - the East has Mirabai. Whosoever understands them both understands all there is to understand. - Claudio RugafioriThese poems of Mirabai have been beautifully translated from the Middle Hindi by Louise Landes Levi, and they should serve as a fine key to this tantric poet's consciousness. - Lawrence FerlinghettiSometimes ancient voices speak more clearly and directly to our inner ear than any today. Their power and beauty, preserved throughout the ages, are a fresh breeze resonating with familiar longings. Mirabai's legend reads like a fable from an Indian Arabian Nights or a tapestry woven with colored threads - stories that reach from medieval India to the present to tell a tale of nonconformity and devotional love to Lord Krishna. - Griselda Steiner from PARABOLA (Aug 1 '98).these are excellent translations. Kathleen Raine, in a letter. ca. 1978Among poets universally there prevails a passionate tradition of the poet as the 'outsider.' While entire civilizations may come and go, with the names of its despots, warlords, local heroes and heroines lost for naught, mere fragments of verse have survived centuries as fresh utterance. Such was the case for Mirabai, the 16th century Rajastani princess who's songs are still sung today in an unbroken lineage of bhakti yoga or devotional love throughout the sub-continent of India, strangely immune to ancient rivalries of caste, religion and tribe. Much has been made of Mirabai's 'outsider' qualities by contemporary Western translators of her work, drawn, no doubt, from the biographical details of her life.…

Saddle-stitched wrappers, printed on laid paper. Cover photograph by Larry Fink. Project supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Typesetting by Ed Hogan at Aspect Composition in Cambridge, and printed by the New England Free Press in Somerville, MA. The poems within are introduced with a preface by the author, indicating that they were contained in a "not so thin (dusty) manila folder called 'Poems,'" and date from approximately 1956 to a decade later, when Dawson had first arrived in New York City. He writes: "There were not many galleries that showed American artists in New York in the Fifties, and with the exceptions (aside from me and Dan, Tim, Victor, Basil, Jorge &c up from Black Mountain), the artists were either half again our age, or twice it. We were young, and just as almost all of our seniors, we too were broke, and tense, but we had high ideals and with few exceptions, had made our commitments, yet (not so curiously), self-discovery was the last thing on the list to me as well as others, and it was as if we preferred to be unconscious, so in that loft/bar/street city-world, in my little loft of East 12th Street (135, at present a parking lot), where I froze in the winter and dripped sweat in the summer, I painted and drew, and wrote my stories - and some of these, to me remarkable poems. It was true that I was a sensitive person, still am, but in those days it could be crippling, for it was as if there was no alternative, and yet - that I got so much good work done, in its clearly raw quality, was nonetheless [upon Dawson's encounter with the archival folder] . a tremendous discovery." (2) This is from an edition of 1000 copies, of which 26 are lettered A to Z and signed by the poet. This is from the regular edition, with very light age toning at edges of cover and small imperfections at top and bottom of covers, else fine.…
