An anthology of Rilke's strongest poetry and prose for both aficionados and new readers.

Traces Rilke's struggle to affirm death's unity with life. This title examines selections from the poet's letters and novel, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge, analyzing his inexplicable popularity in America, his unexpected attention to the scientific accuracy of his poetic images and his surprising use of humor.
