Rilke on Love and Other Difficulties - by John J L Mood & Rainer Maria Rilke (Paperback)

This anthology of Rilke's strongest poetry and prose is a must-read for both aficionados and new readers.

With an introduction by John J.

L.

Mood, this collection presents commentary along with the selections, linking into an essay passages from letters that show Rilke's profound understanding of men and women and his ardent spirituality.

The poems on love are sensual and sexual, while others pursue perennial themes in his work--death and life, growth and transformation.

This book concludes with Rilke's reflections on wisdom and openness to experience, on grasping what is most difficult and turning what is most alien into that which we can most trust.

Don't miss out on this comprehensive collection of Rilke's greatest works!
