With a new translation of the Duino Elegies "Who, if I cried out,
would hear me among the angels'/orders?" Rainer Maria Rilke's Duino
Elegies opens with one of the most powerful poetic expressions of
the search for meaning in the modern world. Published in 1923, the
Elegies would influence important philosophers on the Continent,
including Heidegger. But with a few exceptions, Rilke's poetry has
not had an impact on philosophy in the Anglo-American world. In
Being Here Is Glorious, James D. Reid offers a fresh translation of
the Elegies, which hews to the form of the original and provides
his own meditation on the place of poetry in philosophy. Reid makes
a convincing case that poetry and philosophy can address the
problem of finding things significant and worth affirming in light
of various reasons to doubt the value of the world in which we find
ourselves cast.
