Poems from the Book of Hours [Paperback]

AlthoughOne of the most powerful poetry collections of thetwentieth century, now in a beautiful new edition? If Rilke cut himself shaving, he would bleed poetry. Rilke remade the sturdy sonnet, recast the sonorous song. He quickened theGerman language itself. Poets in English continue to line up for the inevitable failure of translatingRilkes short lyrics. The best translations I have seen are from BabetteDeutsch.
