In 1976, few people had even heard of Jelaluddin Rumi. Yet, in a stellar leap that no one expected, the 13th-century Islamic theologian would soon become America?s best-selling poet.Rumi Comes to America tells how a group of young seekers, inspired by author Reshad Feild?s spiritual journey to Turkey, invited the sheikh of the Whirling Dervishes to their modest duplex in Los Angeles. This first-hand account describes the fortuitous events, spiritual mishaps, and generational yearning that propelled Rumi?s ancient mystical tradition to take root in America.
