About the author
Rainer Maria Rilke
1,950 books7,388 followersA mystic lyricism and precise imagery often marked verse of German poet Rainer Maria Rilke, whose collections profoundly influenced 20th-century German literature and include
The Book of Hours
(1905) and
The Duino Elegies
(1923).
People consider him of the greatest 20th century users of the language.
His haunting images tend to focus on the difficulty of communion with the ineffable in an age of disbelief, solitude, and profound anxiety — themes that tend to position him as a transitional figure between the traditional and the modernist poets.
His two most famous sequences include the Sonnets to Orpheus , and his most famous prose works include the Letters to a Young Poet and the semi-autobiographical The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge .
He also wrote more than four hundred poems in French, dedicated to the canton of Valais in Switzerland, his homeland of choice.

Dieses Buch ist meine erste Auseinandersetzung mit Rilkes Werken gewesen und hat mich vollends überzeugt. Ich bin ein Fan von allem, außer der Betitelung. Rilke hat scheinbar selbst seine Werke sehr ungeregelt betitelt und es hat mich schlichtweg verwirrt wo ein Gedicht aufhört und ein weiteres anfängt, zumal mehrere unterschiedliche Gedichte den selben Titel tragen.
Besonders herausstellen möchte ich „Die Liebende“ („Das ist mein Fenster. Eben“), „Der Tod der Geliebten“ und „Sieben Gedichte“ („Auf einmal faßt die Rosenpflückerin“). Die sieben Gedichte sind eine einzige lange Metapher für Sex, was mir erst beim dritten auffiel. Change my mind.
