Generally regarded as the greatest lyric poet of modern Germany, Rainer Maria Rilke has long been one of America's most popular foreign-language authors. This book is a selection of 60 poems taken from one of Rilke's best-known works, the two-volume "New Poems", written from 1903 to 1908. Each poem is printed in English translation opposite the original German version and is illustrated with a delicate pencil sketch by Ferris Cook that echoes the imagery of the poem. 60 illustrations.
