Ibn Arabi | 13th Century Mystical Sufi Lyric
from The Literature Humanities Radio Hour on WKCR 89.9FM: Literary Classics in Conversation · host thomaspreston
Thomas, Katrina & Larry meet to discuss Ibn Arabi's Translator of Desires, a collection of 61 poems that propose a theological concept of the Divine that sees its collapse into the Beloved and the natural world. Born in Al-Andalus (today Andalucia), Ibn Arabi lived from 1165 until 1240, journeying to Mecca in 1202 and subsequently publishing a series of poetic and philosophical works that would cement his status as a preeminent Sufi mystic philosopher and spiritual authority.
