Poetry. Middle Eastern Studies. Translated from the Arabic by Michael Sells. BEWILDERED contains new translations of Ibn al-'Arab? Tarjuman poems in modern poetic English. The translator of a highly praised volume of pre-Islamic qasidas, Desert Tracings , and STATIONS OF DESIRE, the first renderings of Ibn al-'Arab? Tarjuman , Michael A. Sells carries into his translations the supple, resonant quality of the original Arabic, so that the poems come to life in English. Expert yet unaffected, [Michael Sell's translations in BEWLIDERED] capture the original Arabic even as they introduce a figure as eminent as Rumi who is little-known in the West. Furthermore, by revisiting past translations, Sells's work confirms that literature is best rendered not in a single English version, but many.--Kevin Blankinship
