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\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 7.9 x 5.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 20, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57191444513073,"sku":"9780811240437","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/9532\/7537\/files\/1gRWdDVe_F9780811240437.webp?v=1793307429","url":"https:\/\/mitchellofficial.com\/products\/blue-like-my-beloved-paperback","provider":"MITCHELL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
