Of his celebrated "Rumi: In the Arms of the Beloved", Larry Dossey wrote, "Rumi would be proud of Star's luminous translations." He graduated from Harvard University where he studied Eastern Religion and architecture. For the past twenty years he has studied and practiced Zen, Advaita, and Yoga. His poetry and writings have been translated into several languages and his works include: "Rumi: In the Arms of the Beloved" (Putnam/Tarcher); "The Inner Treasure: An Introduction to the World's Sacred and Mystical Writing" (Putnam/Tarcher); and "Tao Te Ching: The Definitive Edition" (Putnam/Tarcher).
