John J. L. Mood has assembled a collection of Rilke's strongest work, presenting commentary along with the selections. Mood links into an essay passages from letters that show Rilke's profound understanding of men and women and his ardent spirituality, rooted in the senses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Combining passion and sensitivity, the poems on love presented here are often not only sensual but sexual as well. Others pursue perennial themes in his work--death and life, growth and transformation. The 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRilke, Rainer Maria:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eRainer Maria Rilke \u003c\/strong\u003e(1875-1926), the author of \u003cem\u003eSonnets to Orpheus\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eLetters to a Young Poet\u003c\/em\u003e, was one of the greatest poets of the German language.","brand":"W.
