In Ecotheology and Love: The Converging Poetics of Sohrab Sepehri and James Baldwin, Bahar Davary points to the interrelation of religion, poetry, and ecology from a comparative perspective with an emphasis on decoloniality. This work shows how authors Sohrab Seperhi and James Baldwin sought social justice by building their work on love and an authentic way of knowing the world based on an interconnected knowledge of the self. The layers of depth in Sepehri and Baldwin’s works and their immediacy for our time has yet to be fully understood, but through Ecotheology and Love, Davary takes a significant step towards achieving such a fuller understanding.

“Bahar Davary’s Ecotheology and Love is a profound meditation on nature mysticism in the context of Islam. Davary explores the rich imagination of a supremely gifted poet, mystic, and painter, the Iranian Sohrab Sepehri, through a rich dialogue with Baldwin, as well as the Qur’an and other Muslim luminaries. In the process we learn not only about the sanctity of nature, but the very process of a deep and meaningful interreligious engagement far beyond the superficiality of so much of current ‘interfaith dialogue.’ Highly recommended!”
