"A poet is someone who can pour light into a cup, then raise it to nourish your beautiful, parched, holy mouth." The poetry of the 14th century Persian, Hafiz, has been referred to, along with Rumi, Shakespeare and Dante, as one of the seven great literary wonders of the world. To Persians, the poems of Hafiz are not classical literature from a remote past but cherished wisdom, humor and love from a dear friend. For centuries Hafiz has been called "the tongue of the invisible," and through these modern versions he continues to sing wild and beautiful love songs to this world from God.
Hafiz has come alive again through the work of Daniel Ladinsky, whose best-selling books include The Gift, The Subject Tonight Is Love and I Heard God Laughing. The poetry is paired with original photocollage illuminations by Michael Green and Saliha Green.

Hafiz series I and series II greeting cards are also available. Michael Green's work is also featured in the Celtic Blessings 2008 wall calendar and greeting cards and the Illuminated Rumi 2008 wall calendar and greeting cards.
