About the Author

Jalal ad-Din Rumi, commonly knownΒ just asΒ Rumi,Β was a Persian SunniΒ MuslimΒ poet,Β Islamic scholar,Β theologian, andΒ SufiΒ mystic whose works, written in the thirteenth century, are popular throughout the world today.Translator Nader Khalili (1936Β­Β­-2008) was a world-renowned Iranian-American architect, author, humanitarian, and teacher. Khalili was also the founder and director of the California Institute of Earth Art and Architecture (Cal-Earth). Khalili was raised by the poetry of Rumi. As a child, his grandmother would recite Rumi's poetry to lull him to sleep. He later developed a passion for studying and translating Rumi's works. Rumi's poetry also became an intrinsic part of Khalili's architectural career. Inspired by the mystical poetry of Rumi, his architecture was distilled from the timeless principles of this universe and its timeless materials-the elements of earth, air, water, and fire.
