THE BOOK OF ANVARI Translation & Introduction Paul Smith Ahad-ud-din Anvari Abeverdi (1126-1189) was a court poet of the Seljuk sultans. Jami composed a ruba'i where he names him, along with Firdausi and Sadi as one of the 'three apostles' of Persian poetry. He was also a celebrated astronomer, mathematician and scientist who admitted he gave them up for the more lucrative occupation of ... a court poet, that he later rejected twenty years before his death for a life of seclusion and contemplation, embracing Sufism. He is renowned for his delightful wittiness that can be found in many of his ruba'is and qit'as and ghazals. He is one of the greatest Persian masters of the qasida and his one called 'The Tears of Khurasan' is considered his masterpieces.

Using mixed modes of communication as single modes, "Harmonious Modes" seeks to employ Unified Mode theory to communicate in ways that illustrate the evolution the English language is currently experiencing. Sometimes, text cannot say what image can and image cannot say what text can, but together, they say something complete. Sometimes the text acts as an image to convey "unwritten" meta-information. "Harmonious Modes" builds on the ideas in "Alternative Transitions" to present blended communication between image and word with the intent to produce a meaningful experience engaging the reader's full creative spectrum.

***BULLEH SHAH: SELECTED POEMS*** Translation & Introduction by Paul Smith Bulleh Shah (1680-1758) was a Sufi poet who composed in Punjabi and settled in Kasur, now in Pakistan. His Spiritual Master was Shah Inayat. The poetic form Bulleh Shah is called the Kafi, a style of Punjabi poetry used not only by the Sufis of Sindh and Punjab, but also by Sikh gurus. His poetry and philosophy strongly criticizes the Islamic religious orthodoxy of his day. His time was marked with communal strife between Muslims and Sikhs. But in that age Bulleh Shah was a beacon of hope and peace for the citizens of the Punjab. Several of his songs or kafis are still regarded as an integral part of the traditional repertoire of qawwali, the musical genre that represents the devotional music of the Sufis.
