ISBN: 0810116499 ISBN-13: 9780810116498 Publisher: Northwestern University Press OUR PRICE: $18.90 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: May 1998 Annotation: New Poems (1907-1908) represented a departure for Rilke from the traditional German lyric poetry of which he was then considered a master. Apparent in these poems is the influence of Rodin -- for whom Rilke had worked -- as well as other visual artists, including Hokusai, Cezanne, Van Gogh, and Picasso. In this collection, Rilke forced his language to extremes of subtlety and refinement that only now, in Stephen Cohn's translations, is being captured properly in English. |
