Description
Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus is a remarkable sequence of 55 poems written in an astonishing burst of inspiration. Christiane Marks's fresh new translations bring Rilke's music to life, opening a new window on these iconic poems for both old and new readers alike. Marks's translations, the result of nearly two decades of memorization, research, and fine-tuning, recapture Rilke's contemporary style with remarkable accuracy. As only the second translation by a woman and the first by a native German speaker, Marks brings a unique perspective to these poems, shedding new light on Rilke's work. With its concise 111 pages, this hardcover edition is a compact yet powerful introduction to Rilke's masterpiece.
