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\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","brand":"Mirabai","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":48742763921600,"sku":"9780811240437","price":24.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/1032\/6976\/files\/BNCImageAPI_823f617a-6f50-4559-a14f-f7cdb97919bc.jpg?v=1786131584","url":"https:\/\/stirlingbookco.ca\/products\/9780811240437","provider":"Stirling Book Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
