Philadelphia, PA July 14, 2005 -- Award-winning artist Michael Green, creator with Coleman Barks of the national best-seller The Illuminated Rumi, has now finished a stunning sequel with all-new art and fresh translations of Rumi's poetry. Bundled in this new volume is a CD of The Illumination Band playing a new kind of music fusing Rumi's mystical longing and the yearning harmonies of our own mountain-blues-gospel traditions. These are Persian quatrains delivered as poignant country ballads you might hear in a West Texas truck stop.

Rumi reminds us of the radiant depth inside that is present in grief and love, in being ecstatically here in the moment. What he celebrates is One Song with many names, the soul, Buddha, the person of Christ. Rumi praises them all at one table. There is no quarrel about names of scriptures in Rumi. His work does not divide -- it includes.

Rumi represents a nourishing exchange for East and West, like the Silk Road was in his day where the beauties of the great religions and story-tellers and poets and their music flowed together and mixed into a new and vibrant fusion.

Once again, Michael Green marries word and imageand now sound, to help make America's most popular poet (and a Muslim!) accessible to a whole new audience. He and the band will be making a nationwide concert tour.

The rich art and spiritual poetry of this book is available for feature print articles. The author is available for radio and TV appearances and book signings.
