5.0 out of 5 stars
A Rilke that reads as if Rilke wrote in English,
By T. Sanchez "writer, editor, voracious reader" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Duino Elegies and the Sonnets to Orpheus (Paperback)
I've found other translations of Rilke obtuse, frustratingly difficult to get the first layer of sense out of, let alone the multiple layers and connections going all the way down. Poulin's translation renders Rilke crisply, briskly musical, urgent, hallucinatory, and true. I read these words in this order and they succeed in completely breaking me open. Which I count as a poetic success.
