About this title

Synopsis

Rainer Maria Rilke’s best poems are finally available in translations so faithful yet free flowing that a reader forgets they were not originally written in English. Applying the same principle of “form-true” rendering that earned him the Bollingen Prize for his translation of Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin, poet-translator Walter Arndt boldly claims to reproduce in English for the first time the prosodic identity of Rilke’s finest rhymed poems.

About the Author

Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926) is considered one of the most important German-language poets of the modern age. Rilke succumbed to leukemia at Val-Mont, Montreux in December 1926.
