Binding: Paperback
Description: Available for the first time in a single volume Ranier Maria Rilke's two most beloved sequences of poems rendered by his most faithful translator. Rilke is unquestionably the twentieth century's most significant and compelling poet of romantic transformation and spiritual quest. His poems of ecstatic identification with the world exert perennial fascination. In Stephen Mitchell's versions of Rilke's two greatest masterpieces readers will discover an English rendering that captures the lyric intensity fluency and reach of his poetry. Stephen Mitchell adheres impeccably to Rilke's text to his formal music and to the complexity of his thought; at the same time Mitchell's work has authority and power as poetry in its own right.
