Commentary Supposing Books Letters to a Young Poet

In 1903, a student at a military academy sent some of his verses to a well-known Austrian poet, requesting an assessment of their value. The older artist, Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926), replied to the novice in this series of letters — an amazing archive of remarkable insights into the ideas behind Rilke's greatest poetry. The ten letters reproduced here were written during an important stage in Rilke's artistic development, and they contain many of the themes that later appeared in his best works. The poet himself afterwards stated that his letters contained part of his creative genius, making this volume essential reading for scholars, poetry lovers, and anyone with an interest in Rilke, German poetry, or the creative impulse.

Discuss Of Books Letters to a Young Poet

I could just paste here all the passages I highlighted while reading this last month during my breaks from writing--but that would mean pasting practically the entire book.Because it is that good.You don't have to be a writer to truly enjoy this heartwarming read. Through this correspondence revolving around the writing craft, Rilke gives us glimpses into his general worldview and way of life convictions. His insight and existential approach on themes like anxiety, solitude and empathy are

"دع الحياة تحدث لك. صدقني: الحياة محقة على كل حال" أعتقد أن هذه أهم جملة ونصيحة قدمها ريلكه للشاعر الشاب. كتاب جميل رسائل من ريلكه لشاعر صغير أرسل له قصائده لتقييمها فنمت بيهم بعض الرسائل التي أسدى فيها ريلكه نصائح للشاعر الصغير. أحبب الكتاب. أثر في أشياء بداخلي وساعدني في فتح أفق الرؤية للطبيعة. لوهلة شعرت أن ريلكه خصني أنا بهذه الرسائل.

Go into yourself and see how deep the place is from which your life flows.Rainer Maria Rilke puts forth the question must I write? in these letters from the great poet to the unknown Mr. Kappus. Dig into yourself for a deep answer, he tells the young poet, and if this answer rights out in assent, if you meet this solemn question with a strong, simple I must, then build your life in accordance with this necessity. Letters To A Young Poet, written between 1903-08, contains some of the most

While reading Ideas of Heaven: A Ring of Stories, by Joan Silber .... I found myself really enjoying the poetry - inserted - by Rainer Maria Rilkerelevant -powerful - truthful - beautiful- words of depth I connected with. I wanted to know more about who Rilke was. I found this book -a compilation of 10 letters that Rilke wrote to a young poet named Franz Xaver. Xaver wanted to know if his work was good. Rilke letters are inspirational - filled with wisdom -( jewels to writers)- and beauty.

Notes collected Rilke, the lonely German-language poet, but not really a German, rather an exile for 10 years,...possessor of nothing, but his language, shows a young man how a "masterpiece of art" can be accomplished and last for long.Paris 1903.It appears that Rilke had been approached by a poet asking for a critical view of his output. Yet, Rilke's standing was not critical, at all; he rather preferred a hearty (almost paternal) reply. So he advised the young poet to look inside,

The last book for the year. The soothing, gentle, unimposing yet wise voice of Rilke - what better way to fold up one more chapter in life and open another, with hope for more suffering and joys in apt measure. This little book has been my companion for four years now, always half-finished, and it feels strange to finally remove the bookmark and to keep it aside.Read it with a forgiving bend. Keep in mind that Rilke never wrote them with an intention to publish, it was mostly an attempt to

Rilke has sent 10 letters to his friend and pen pal, Kappus, talking about all manner of things, but mostly art and poetry. Kappus is a student asking Rilke about writing. He sends him his stories and letters and Rilke reads them and comments them. They also have a friendship developing between them.This isn't a story, but it shows a historical mentorship. The book is the 10 letters that Rilke sent, but in this edition, they also print out the letters that Kappus sent to Rilke so we can see both
