Sonnets To Orpheus

Rainer Maria Rilke is one of the most famous modernist poets and continues to sell well. Marks has spent two decades working on this new translation.It is the only the second translation of Rilke's work by a woman, and the very first by a native German speaker. Marks pays special attention to the 'music' in the poems, a component often sacrificed in other translations. A fantastic edition sure to delight old and new Rilke fans alike.
