An anthology of Rilke’s strongest poetry and prose for both aficionados and new readers. Here is a mini-anthology of poetry and prose for both aficionados and those readers discovering Rainer Maria Rilke for the first time. John J. L. Mood has assembled a collection of Rilke’s strongest work, presenting commentary along with the selections. Mood links into an essay passages from letters that show Rilke’s profound understanding of men and women and his ardent spirituality, rooted in the senses. Combining passion and sensitivity, the poems on love presented here are often not o

His poetry is innovative, enigmatic, and
