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 \u003cem\u003eBlue like My Beloved\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Directions Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833674838221,"sku":"9780811240437","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_368a5e21-98ad-4678-bc46-e6947c000633.jpg?v=1790892775","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/blue-like-my-beloved","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
