Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition. Book and dust jacket are in Fine condition. Clean, tightly bound, and unmarked. Errata slip and publisher's postcard laid in. A lovely copy. Bilingual edition, translated by Edward Snow. Rainer Maria Rilke's "New Poems" (originally "Neue Gedichte"), published in 1907, marks a pivotal stylistic shift in his poetic development. This collection, along with its second part published in 1908, represents a deliberate move away from the more introspective, musical, and expansive style of his earlier works (like "The Book of Hours") towards a more objective, sculpted, and meticulously observed form of poetry. Influenced by his time in Paris working as Auguste Rodin's secretary and his close study of the sculptor's artistic process, Rilke sought to apply a similar rigor and precision to poetry. The key to understanding "New Poems" lies in the concept of the "Dinggedicht" (thing-poem or object-poem). Octavo, xiv., 197 pp. Mylar protected. Seller Inventory # 281
