Rilke --newly translated poems,
This review is from: The Inner Sky: Poems, Notes, Dreams (Paperback)
I am a poet and a poetry lover-- especially Rilke. I have read other books by this translator and appreciate his work. I looked forward to a book of new Rilke poetry that I hadn't read before. To be honest, in my very humble opinion the poems themselves are not Rilke's best nor most resonant. I would say this book is worth having in your collection if you are a lover of Rilke and want all of his poetry on your shelf. As far as the actual poems go, I am more appreciative of those that have been previously published by other translators. Most of the poems & prose in this book did not have the power nor the depth that I associate with Rilke. I started the book, put it aside, and came back to it again, but still was not 'hooked' as I usually am by Rilke. But again, it is just my opinion.
