Relatively early in Rilke's literary career, these letters began as advice addressed to a young student who had solicited it by sending Rilke some poems. The two authors never met, but over the course of several years a correspondence developed in which Rilke composed astoundingly elegant and eloquent characterizations of the craft and discipline of poetry--and life. Subsequently, these letters have come to embody a seminal 20th-century statement on the artistic temperament, spirituality, and creativity.
Written between 1903 and 1908 to a student who had sent Rilke his poems for evaluation, these ten letters--among the most famous and beloved of this century--reveal the deeply felt ideas about life and art that shaped the great poet's work. Two-color interior.

Review 1:
"Rilke's finely wrought advice about art, personal fulfillment and love....This book is a very important addition to those who love Rilke."
Review 2:
"Rilke's letters...have become classic statements of creative process and spiritual development....They help us to know ourselves."
