New Poems - Paperback
by Rainer Maria Rilke (Author), John Greening (Translator)

In John Greening's fresh, lively translation, the tidal pull of Rilke's internal music and astonishing imagery is strengthened by the poems' elaborate rhyme and meter. As Greening suggests in his detailed introduction, these disparate pieces coalesce to reveal something we didn't know we were waiting to find.
