Facsimile of 1943 Edition.

Born in 1875, the great German lyric poet Rainer Maria Rilke published his first collection of poems in 1898 and went on to become renowned for his delicate depiction of the workings of the human heart.

Drawn by some sympathetic note in his poems, young people often wrote to Rilke with their problems and hopes. From 1903 to 1908, Rilke wrote a series of remarkable responses to a young, would-be poet on poetry and on surviving as a sensitive observer in a harsh world.

Those letters, ten in all, remain a fresh source of inspiration and insight to the poetic sensibility to this day.

Letters to a Young Poet continues to inspire readers with its profound insights into the art of poetry and life itself.
