Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Long considered the definitive English translation of Rilkes brilliant and haunting masterworks, A. Poulins edition of Duino Elegies and The Sonnets to Orpheus provides an essential introduction to some of the most passionate and intensely creative visionary poetry of the twentieth century. With a new foreword by the esteemed poet Mark Doty and a fresh new design, Poulins revered translation is certain to acquaint a new generation of readers with the works of Rilke.

'Rainer Maria Rilke (18751926) is one of the most widely read poets of the twentieth century.A. Poulin, Jr., editor of the first six editions of Contemporary American Poetry and a contributing editor of American Poetry Review, died in June, 1996. Michael Waters (Ph.D., Ohio University) teaches at Salisbury State University in Maryland.

He is the recipient of many honors and awards including two Pushcart Prizes, one fellowship each from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Tyrone Guthrie Centre (Ireland), six fellowships from the Virginia Center for Creative Arts, and three Individual Artist Awards from the Maryland State Arts Council.
