Book Review #48
Letters to a Young Poet
by Rainer Maria Rilke
I read this book years ago. I recently reread it. And then, because there is so much in this slim volume, I read it again. The letters to the young, aspiring poet are lovely, passionate and heartfelt. Funny how a book you've read earlier in your life can take on an entirely different meaning later on. There are passages that I found particularly moving, as if Rilke were speaking directly to me. I am sure that I am not the only reader to feel that way and to feel that connection.
