LP version. This is the brand-new ambient and beyond album by Hamburg DJ/producer Lawrence, dedicated to his long-lasting relation with Toshiya Kawasaki, man of action behind labels like Mule Musiq, Endless Flight and Mule Electronic, and the artist Stefan Marx. Besides co-running the label Dial and the Mathew Gallery in Berlin, Lawrence is constantly releasing music on his own labels and befriended platforms like Smallville Records. Furthermore, he regularly contributes to Kawasaki's imprints Mule Musiq and Electronic. The music he shares on his latest album isn't linked to a special place or event. He mostly produced it on his DJ trips around the globe, including Toshiya's homeland, Japan. Back in his cozy backyard studio in Hamburg, he finished all the pieces and mixed them down with a lot of joy. In terms of style, this album is ambient and opens the genre wide open with it's very own musical and emotive language. A track like "Nowhere Is a Place" spreads smoothly-twisted spectral vibes with blurring sounds that could easily originate from alienated instruments like a damaru or a conch horn. Sometimes soft, sizzling noise slides under gentle, balanced ambient air, as in the track "The Visit." in other arrangements, he let's the chords dance with cute, smacking electronic glimpses or odd, slow-motion melodies, reminiscent of the work of Hans-Joachim Roedelius and his love for the gentle swing. For Lawrence, this album is "a triple buddy record," as not only is his emotional content included in the finished product, but also his friends, Stefan Marx - who is in charge of the artwork - and Mule Musiq-head Toshiya Kawasaki, who was also profoundly involved in the outcome. The genesis of a Day in the Life resides in it's emotional content - it is a weightless one where all feelings are stored supremely in what you can hear, see, and hold in your hand.

Blessed Ruin: Lessons on the Stages of Love
Format: Paperback
Having already been enchanted by Daniel Ladinsky's previous rendererings of Hafiz in _I Heard God Laughing_ and _The Subject Tonight is Love_, Ladinsky's present effort is worthy of no less acclaim. In fact, his choices this time from the _Divan_(250 poems) bring home with exquisite precision that Hafiz, the Perfect Master is in fact, a Master of Love. The reader gets the clear message in Ladinsky's portrait that Hafiz has intermalized to perfection his teacher's (Mohammad Attar)lessons on the manifold levels of love and its demands: "I saw it was Hafiz who wrote all your notes of sadness, But also etched and gave you Every ecstatic wince of joy your face, body and heart has ever known." (p.38). This is no "New Age" nonsense, which at its worst hails the light and avoids the shadow, Hafiz (though seducing the beginner lover by his promises of sweetness and tenderness, that God could actually "become an infant in your arms"[p,56]) cautions that he "hold's the Lion's Paw whenever I dance."(p.57). Western culture has not received such lessons on divine love since Jesus and Plato, and unfortunately, the fresh images of their teachings on love have all been but lost to humanity, save a small remnant of sketches. Ladinsky's Hafiz both assures and challenges the seeker because any fully-alive being with such capacity for loving as Hafiz dwarfs our puny notions of western romantic love without shaming or condemning it. Only encouraging like a true teacher with compassion would: "You ask for a few words of comfort and guidance. I quickly kneel at your side offering you this whole book . . . Here's a rope, tie it around me, Hafiz will be your companion for life."(p83). Hafiz's language of love utilized the metaphor of his time and culture as Jesus incorporated the images of parable. Ladinsky courageously steps out of line (as surely did Hafiz) and takes the risk to be mundane without being irreverent when describing the labyrinth that is the heart: "There are different wells within your heart. Some fill with each good rain. Others are far too deep for that." (p76) Ladinsky's Hafiz teaches us of a divine being who walks among and talks with and celebrates his creation; yet challenges it to stretch beyond its boundaries of self-interest: " I want both of us to start talking about this great love. As if you , I, and the sun were all married and living in a tiny room, helping each other to cook, do the wash, weave and sew, care for our beautiful animals."(p.180). Ladinsky's fine portrait of this 14th century Perfect Master gives the West the certain bugal cry that God is not dead, but it is we who are dead to God. The success of this book will measure how many of us are indeed alive here, and how many are really interested in the more mature lessons of loving.

One need not be Christian or Muslim or whatever to appreciate his poetry with its deep feelings of connectedness and love of lif
Format: Paperback
The book has a lovely, reasonably long, introduction to Hafiz, his time, and fellow poets which helps to create an open and curious mind for the poems that follow. Although I was familiar with several Hafiz poems before, most of this book was new to me. It is a fairly thick book, with the poems spread lightly on the pages. Plenty of white space surrounds and set off the poems so that although there are many, many poems in the book, they are not crowded.
Hafiz celebrates god in a way that is rich and exuberant. One need not be Christian or Muslim or whatever to appreciate his poetry with its deep feelings of connectedness and love of life. In fact, as a Buddhist, I find it is exactly that sensitivity to life, to joy, to the world around, and to other beings around us that offers the greatest illumination. This poetry is wonderful to read just before sleep, or any time, and is a fine addition to any library.

Absolutely beautiful poetic translation occasionally marred by silly attempts at contemporary relevance
Format: Paperback
Poetry is something I seldom read, but the range of philosophical and religious reflection in Hafiz' writing is amazing, delightful, and life-affirming. Not every poem is equally rewarding, but how could they be? The translations make these ancient short poems speak to the present day, but sometimes too much so--using terms that have only come into our language in the 20th or 21st centuries at times borders on "cutsie", which distracts from the true meaning. When Ladinsky sticks to standard and time-tested language and grammar, his translations have much deeper impact, for me anyway. I have not read other translations of Hafiz, but I imagine previous ones are full of "thee's" and "thou's", and less erudite perspectives. I highly recommend this book--for me is has more understanding and depth concerning daily living than Rumi, for instance. Just beware that there are some shockingly off-the-mark, if sincere, attempts to make this ancient poetry relevant to us now. Ladinsky apparently spent years working on this book, so my hat is off to his scholarship.

I love The Gift of Hafiz by Daniel Landinsky
I am Persian and I love the poetry of Hafiz but the book Gift is the first book I read in English language translated by Daniel Ladinsky. As a Persian who is born and raised knowing the poetry of Hafiz by heart and in their original tongue, I really enjoyed reading the book and appreciated the interpretations and translation.
Daniel Ladinsky is an American poet known as interpreter of mystical poetry born and raised in Saint Louise. He has said “the poet who I have worked most with is the 14th century Persian poet Hafiz. And Goethe has said, Hafiz has no peer. And I think Goethe knew what he was talking about”.
Daniel Ladinsky has written many other books about Hafiz which are unique and many have come to know about this great Persian Master more glorious in the English language. In a rare interview on October 2013 with the Sun Magazine, Daniel Ladinsky shares about his spiritual longing, his encounter with a living saint in India who inspired him to work on Hafiz. In his preface of “The Gift” he invites us to join him in his fantastic applause of life and says “I vote to inscribe these words of Hafiz on every flag, church bell, temple, mosque, and politician’s brain:
Dear ones, let’s anoint this earth with dance!
I recommend the book "Gift" to everyone who enjoys poetry.

Do God a favor
Thanks to ladinsky for making the essence of Hafiz accessible to the English reader. For a select some, the purpose of Hafiz's poems is the supernal transportation that takes place in the heart, mind and soul of the seeker. A simple reader of Hafiz may appreciate a more mundane rendition; but a Lover comes to Hafiz to be lost in his drunkenness. ladinsky's interpretations above and outside of translations renders the Realm for the English reader. For hearts seeking higher service to the Friend this indeed is all that matters and yes, our hearts do joy at the criticism of those who yet court the kiss of the King for they are still engaged in the evolution back into essence and oh how the heart does dance at the thought of these.
Wayfarer, do God, the "field of holiness" and all creation a favor, purchase this friend's every interpretation of Hafiz and devotionally devour massive morsels until the Final Friend causes YOU to spit out spontaneous sputterings of His own. But don't hurry or worry, for the process may take months or millennia but eventually all will evolve back home to Him.
In joy enjoy in-Joy. Dear one read through that last line again, breathe through that last line again. It is far far deeper than most know.
