pFor the past twenty-five years, North Point Press has been working with Edward Snow, Rilke's best contemporary translator Brian Phillips, iThe New Republici, to bring into English Rilke's major poetic works. iThe Poetry of Rilkei--the single most comprehensive volume of Rilke's German poetry ever to be published in English--is the culmination of this effort. With more than two hundred and fifty selected poems by Rilke, including complete translations of the iSonnets to Orpheus iand the iDuino Elegiesi, iThe Poetry of Rilke ispans the arc of Rilke's work, from the breakthrough poems of iThe Book of Hours ito the visionary masterpieces written only weeks before his death. This landmark bilingual edition also contains all of Snow's commentaries on Rilke, as well as an important new introduction by the award-winning poet Adam Zagajewski. iThe Poetry of Rilke iwill stand as the authoritative single-volume translation of Rilke into English for years to come.p
