{"product_id":"blue-like-my-beloved","title":"Blue Like My Beloved","description":"Some people praise me, some talk trash. I just sing about god.\n\nMy road is the road where the saints walk, and I’m taking it.\n\n—Mirabai\n\n\nThe 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.\n\n\nIn 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.","brand":"New Directions Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57260869124440,"sku":"9780811240437","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780811240437_22b717b7-92f8-479e-b672-709471a77269.jpg?v=1779187547","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/blue-like-my-beloved","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
