Review
"Smoothly elegant and unhurriedly paced, [these translations] seem almost effortless, yet they resonate with lyrical intensity and allusive brio.... It would be hard to come away from "The Essential Rilkewithout a profound sense of who this great early modernist poet was and what he had to say (and say beautifully) of the self and the world."--"The San Diego Union Tribune
