Synopsis

Distilling the best of Rainer Maria Rilke's uncollected poems and offering a selection that conveys the variety of Rilke's lesser-known writings, a collection of poems reveals a freer, less polished poet and comprises a great achievement in twentieth-century poetry.

Review

"[This] translation of Rilke's neglected later poems is worthy of Snow's [earlier] versions of the two books of "New Poems." Something of the non-vatic Rilke, poet of perception "and" sensation, is best conveyed in English by Snow's meditations."--Harold Bloom
"The Snow translation of these little-known Rilke poems is brilliant. Just turn to 'The Spanish Trilogy.' It is quite simply one of [the twentieth] century's most beautiful poems--in German "and" in English."--Mark Strand
