For the past twenty-five years, North Point Press has been
working with Edward Snow, "Rilke's best contemporary translator"
(Brian Phillips, "The New Republic"), to bring into English Rilke's
major poetic works. "The Poetry of Rilke"--the single most
comprehensive volume of Rilke's German poetry ever to be published
in English--is the culmination of this effort. With more than two
hundred and fifty selected poems by Rilke, including complete
translations of the "Sonnets to Orpheus "and the "Duino Elegies,"
"The Poetry of Rilke "spans the arc of Rilke's work, from the
breakthrough poems of "The Book of Hours "to the visionary
masterpieces written only weeks before his death. This landmark
bilingual edition also contains all of Snow's commentaries on
Rilke, as well as an important new introduction by the
award-winning poet Adam Zagajewski. "The Poetry of Rilke "will
stand as the authoritative single-volume translation of Rilke into
English for years to come.
