NEWS: Permission received for use of Rumi translations

Am feeling lucky and lifted and lighter because I've just heard back from author-translator-poet Coleman Barks, who has written several books translating and rendering Jelaluddin Rumi's works for Western readers. Rumi was a 13th century Sufi mystic and poet, and Barks' interpretations of his works have been a deep well for me. I feel a huge relief at finally pinpointing what will be the closing movement of the requiem and knowing I may proceed with the text. Thank-you Mr. Barks!
