Product Description
In 1903, a student at a military academy sent some of his verses to a well-known Austrian poet, requesting an assessment of their value. The older artist, Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926), replied to the novice in this series of letters–an amazing archive of remarkable insights into the ideas behind Rilke’s greatest poetry. The ten letters reproduced here were written during an important stage in Rilke’s artistic development, and they contain many of the themes that later appeared in his best works. The poet himself afterwards stated that his letters contained part of his creative genius, making this volume essential reading for scholars, poetry lovers, and anyone with an interest in Rilke, German poetry, or the creative impulse. Unabridged republication of the work published by Sidgwick and Jackson, London, 1946. Translator’s Preface. Translator’s Introduction. Introduction by the Young Poet. Commentary. Rilke in English. 1 black-and-white illustration.

It would take a deeply cynical heart not to fall in love with Rainer Maria Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet. At the end of this millennium, his slender book holds everything a student of the century could want: the unedited thoughts of (arguably) the most important European poet of the modern age. Rilke wrote these 10 sweepingly emotional letters in 1903, addressing a former student of one of his own teachers. The recipient was wise enough to omit his own inquiries from the finished product, which means that we get a marvelously undiluted dose of Rilkean aesthetics and exhortation.

The poet prefaced each letter with an evocative notation of the city in which he wrote, including Paris, Rome, and the outskirts of Pisa. Yet he spends most of the time encouraging the student in his own work, delivering a sublime, one-on-one equivalent of the modern writing workshop:

Go into yourself and test the deeps in which your life takes rise; at its source you will find the answer to the question whether you must create. Accept it, just as it sounds, without inquiring into it. Perhaps it will turn out that you are called to be an artist. Then take that destiny upon yourself and bear it, its burden and its greatness, without ever asking what recompense might come from outside.

Every page is stamped with Rilke’s characteristic grace, and the book is free of the breathless effect that occasionally mars his poetry. His ideas on gender and the role of the artist are also surprisingly prescient. And even his retrograde comment on the “beauty of the virgin” (which the poet derives from the fact that she “has not yet achieved anything”) is counterbalanced by his perception that “the sexes are more related than we think.” Those looking for an alluring image of the solitary artist–and for an astonishing quotient of wisdom–will find both in Letters to a Young Poet. –Jennifer Buckendorff

What’s the difference between the poet and the song writer, we have in arabic we don’t have difference, i mean the singer can sing a poetry.

Preferably written in your own words and understanding, rather than a paste from a website.

Oh gi’e to me a shillin’ for some fags and I’ll pay ye back on Thursday, but if you wait till Saturday I’m expecting a divvy from the Harpenden Building Society

Short clips of Anne Sexton reciting some poetry and excerpts from home movies.

Also, why would a poet use iambic and trochaic tetrameter in one poem?

I’m writing about the rhythm in London by William Blake and I have no idea if there was a reason he did these or if it was just coincidence.

Who is the Renaissance Italian poet whose sonnets were so popular i Shakespheres day? Were studying about Romeo + Juliet and i need help in this question.

Cellulosic ethanol is on the move. Today, POET, the top U.S. ethanol producer, inaugurated a pilot cellulosic ethanol plant in South Dakota. The plantâ??s projected to churn out 22,000 gallons of cellulosic ethanol per year. POET has an amazing, professionally done documentary that takes you, step-by-step, along the journey cellulosic ethanol has followed. Itâ??s available here.

In the press release it issued today to announce the start of the plantâ??s operations, POET said in 2011, it will roll out a $200 million commercial-scale cellulosic plant in Iowa.

Todayâ??s announcement, of course, is a major development and a big leap to energy independence. More good news is that cellulosic ethanol utilizes non-food crops; so thereâ??ll not be politicking that food security will be compromised. A lot of politics continues to dog food-crops-based ethanol. There are those who claim that diverting food crops, such as corn, to ethanol production is to blame for the current food shortages. There are others who dismiss such an argument as baseless and not supported by facts. Whatever the merits or demerits of using food-crops to make ethanol, POET is demonstrating that the journey to reliable and clean energy is unstoppable.

Thereâ??s every reason to cheer up POET, and of course the Federal government, which provided seed money for research. Renewable sources of energy, such as cellulosic ethanol, hold the key to energy independence. President-Elect Baraka Obama, for instance, has said as much on the issue. He has promised massive investments into the next generation of biofuels. POET and other companies in the biofuels business have no excuse of not doubling efforts to produce biofuels. Political will is already there; itâ??s up to them to exploit it.
