Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

A New York Review Books Original

Transcending divisions of creed, challenging social distinctions of all sorts, and celebrating individual unity with the divine, the poetry of Kabir is one of passion and paradox, of mind-bending riddles and exultant riffs. These new translations by Arvind Krishna Mehrotra, one of India's finest contemporary poets, bring out the richness, wit, and power of a literary and spiritual master.

Includes bibliographical references and indexes.

Upside-down poems -- Runaway mind -- Against pundits and muezzins -- Is there a Paradise anyway? -- Waiting to be kissed -- The color of Rama -- Handcuffed to death -- Beware the snares -- Questions & answers.
