2001réf. 71417New York: North Point Press 2001. later printing. Paperback. New. 74pp. Octavo 21cm. Illustrated wraps. "Over the last fifteen years in his two volumes of New Poems as well as in The Book of Images and Uncollected Poems Edward Snow has emerged as one of Rainer Maria Rilke's most able English-language interpreters. In his translations Snow adheres faithfully to the intent of Rilke's German while constructing nuanced colloquial poems in English. Written in a period of spiritual crisis between 1912 and 1922 the poems that compose the Duino Elegies are the ones most frequently identified with the Rilkean sensibility. With their symbolic landscapes prophetic proclamations and unsettling intensity these complex and haunting poems rank among the outstanding visionary works of the century." - From the PUblisher.
