"The sixteenth-century poet and Saint Mirabai has long been an iconic figure in India. Tagore famously named his daughter after her and praised her as a figure of female liberation; Gandhi referenced her in speeches on nonviolence and anti-colonialism-her songs were sung in his ashrams. Today her poems continue to be sung by Bollywood singers, folk musicians, and ordinary people. In Blue Like My Beloved, the poet-translator and scholar Chloe Martinez-who spent decades studying, absorbing, and translating Mirabai's work-has compiled a selection of Mirabai's poetry that includes her greatest hits alongside lesser-known poems. The collection spans the range of Mirabai's moods and themes in a vibrant poetry of intimacy and visionary perception that burns with a lasting brilliance akin to that of Rumi or Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz"-- Provided by publisher.
