Sweet on My Lips: The Love Poems of Mirabai

Poetry. Translated from the Hindi by Louise Landes Levi. The newly printed second edition of this book collects Louise Landes Levi's translations of the 16th century devotional poetry of Mirabai, a female Hindu mystic who sang of her great spiritual love for the lord Krishna. "The beautiful poems of Mirabai have been beautifully translated from the Middle Hindi, and they should serve as a fine key to this tantric poet's consciousness"—Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
