For more than ninety years, eager writers and young poets, even
those simply looking for a purpose in life, have embraced the
wisdom of Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet, first
published in 1929. Most readers and scholars assumed that the
letters from young poet were forever lost to posterity. Yet,
shockingly, the letters were recently discovered by Erich Unglaub,
a Rilke scholar, and published in German in 2019. The acclaimed
translator Damion Searls has now not only retranslated Rilke's
original letters but also translated the letters by Franz Xaver
Kappus, an Austrian military cadet and aspiring poet. This timeless
edition, in addition to joining the two sets of letters together
for the first time in English, provides a new window into the
workings of Rilke's visionary poetic and philosophical mind,
allowing us to re-experience the literary genius of one of the most
inspiring works of twentieth-century literature.
