Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926), the greatest German language poet since Goethe, worked for a time as Rodin's secretary at Meudon. This title is a paperback edition of Stephen Cohn's celebrated translations and includes the complete German language text parallel with the English.
Stephen Cohn is a sculptor, painter and printmaker. Peter Porter wrote of his translations of the Duino Elegies (Carcanet): 'Cohn has added a natural eloquence of his own which makes his versions of the Elegies the most flowing and organic of those I have read.
Introduction by John Bayley; Neue Gedichte I; Neue Gedichte II; Notes; Index of English Titles; Index of German Titles
"Snow may be the best translator that Rilke has ever had." --Brian Phillips, "The New Republic"
