Rilke's Book of Hours
Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God (Riverhead, 1996, 2006 with Anita Barrows)My translation, with Anita Barrows, of Rainer Maria Rilke's Stundenbuch. These luminous verses, written a century ago when the poet was in his early twenties, have woven through my life, my thought. What a joy, at last, to render them in English. The newly-published Centenary Edition includes the original German text.
