This work draws inspiration from the original "Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" but presents a modern and introspective twist, reflecting on the human experience, the nature of joy and suffering, and the pursuit of meaning in life. The collection is characterized by free verse and explores a wide range of themes, ranging from love and loss to existential musings, all within the context of Hartmann's personal contemplations. The poetry in "My Rubaiyat" is structured around a series of reflections that probe the complexities of existence. Hartmann examines the contrast between idealized visions of life and the stark realities faced by individuals, particularly focusing on the themes of duty, love, and the ephemeral nature of pleasure. The speaker expresses a deep yearning for beauty and connection while grappling with the inevitable sorrows of life. Through vivid imagery and emotional resonance, the poet invites readers to navigate the tension between fleeting joy and the weight of life's burdens, ultimately advocating for a celebration of the present and the appreciation of both beauty and sorrow.
