Informationen zum Autor Perhaps the greatest lyric poet of the twentieth century! RAINER MARIA RILKE (1875 - 1926) was born in Prague and led a nomadic existence! living in Germany! Russia! Spain! Italy and France before his death in Switzerland from leukaemia. He dedicated himself exclusively to his work! including the New Poems (1907 - 8)! the semi-autobiographical novel The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge (1910)! Duino Elegies (1923) and Sonnets to Orpheus (1923). MARTYN CRUCEFIX's own poetry - for which he has won numerous prizes! including a major Eric Gregory award and a Hawthornden Fellowship - has been praised as 'urgent! heartfelt! controlled and masterful' (Poetry London).

Klappentext In fifty-five sonnets, Rilke plays an astonishing set of philosophical and sensual variations on the Orpheus myth. 'Praising, that's it!' he declares; nature, art, love, time, childhood, technology, poverty, justice - all are encompassed in poems that spark with insight and invention, amongst the joyful and light-footed that Rilke ever wrote.
