Selected Poems of Rilke, Bilingual Edition Paperback / softback
by Rainer M. Rilke
Paperback / softback
Description
These poems, selected from Das Buch der Bilder and the two parts of Neue Gedichte, show Rilke's deep concern with sculpture and painting.
Written in his less mystical period (1900-1908), the poems exhibit Rilke's particular artistic and poetic power. Rainer Maria Rilke was one of Germany's most important poets.
His influences include the paintings of the Worpswedders and the French Impressionists, the sculpture of Rodin (to whom he was both friend and secretary), and the poetry of Baudelaire, Verlaine, Mallarme, and other symbolists.
His poetry is innovative, enigmatic, and entertainingly idiosyncratic.
C.F. MacIntyre's translations are both true to the original and poetic in their own right, and in each book he includes an introduction and notes.
German text faces the English translation.
