100 Love Poems to God : After Kabir

Lloyd Jacobs graduated from Miami University in Ohio. He attended the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, practiced surgery for many years and ultimately became Professor of Surgery at the University of Michigan. He was appointed President of the Medical College of Ohio in 2003 and became president of the combined institutions when the Medical College merged into the University of Toledo. He served in that role until 2015.

Currently, Jacobs attempts to live in God's presence, pursuing the pathway blazed by Kabir himself. Kabir was a fifteenth century mystic, poet and philosopher, perhaps in that order. His poems are paeons of ecstasy and joyful prayer. This revival of 100 of his poems is consistent with Jacobs' own work at this stage of his life.
