I recently finished the Epic of Gilgamesh, and I’m starting a collection of poems by Rumi.
I’ve previously read Cold Mountain by Han Shan.
Are there any other ancient poets/poems with published work that you’d recommend?
I’m looking for things that are:
- Basically as old as possible
- Poetic/mystic
- Not Christian (or Western, Greek, or Roman).
Thanks!
This one? https://www.learner.org/series/invitation-to-world-literature/popol-vuh/popol-vuh-read-the-text/
The edition I read was a little different I think but that should be perfectly fine
Edit: actually it’s only the first bit, it doesn’t look like that goes past the introduction
Thanks for checking. I thought that’s what the site was telling me but without knowing the longer version, it’s hard to know!
