A fresh perspective on a beloved classic by acclaimed translators Anita Barrows and Joanna Macy.

German poet Rainer Maria Rilke’s (1875-1926) Letters to a Young Poet has been treasured for nearly a century. Rilke’s personal reflections on the vocation of writing and the experience of living urge an aspiring poet to look inward, while also offering sage wisdom on further issues including gender, solitude, and romantic love. Barrows and Macy’s translation extends this compilation of timeless advice and wisdom to a fresh generation of readers and listeners. With a new introduction and commentary, this edition places the letters in the context of today’s world and the unique challenges we face when seeking authenticity.

I’ve loved Macy and Barrows’ translations of Rilke’s Book of Hours. Their translations are stunning, and true to the original while being free enough to capture the essence without being bogged down by an over commitment to literal translation. In this book, I feel they capture the spirit of what Rilke is trying to convey.

The text itself is indispensable for anyone on an artistic path. The advice that Rilke offers (at the young age of 27!) is as wise and poignant as his poems. I will buy a physical copy of the book at re read it often.

The narrator is superb - I couldn’t have been happier with the narration!

Excellent translation and performance

I enjoyed the student and teacher relationship between the two in their correspondence. Instead of a review of the work, it was a life lesson. Go within to find inspiration which is the core for most classic stories we all love today.

The point of life is to enjoy it

Grateful for this translation, it’s delivery and overall message was greatly needed at this time of my life. Much gratitude to the translators in making it available to me.

First time reading Rilke

Rilke's notion of God is wonderfully original and moving. That's the pearl of this little book. I will definitely relisten!

enlightening

I can see why Whoopi Goldberg suggests this read.

she is referenced it time and time again and I just had to experience this for myself.

I think that it's definitely something that everybody should experience at least once in their life.

Wonderful!

This book has been terribly edited. Huge parts of it are missing, apparently because of censorship.

Watch out

Rilke's letters are censored! Entire chunks of text have been REMOVED because biological sex is considered offensive! Awful. Unbelievable.

An old fave, BUTCHERED

A new translation should do more than remove the parts the translators presumably do not agree with. Some of the contents may not strike the sensitive ear of today's reader in a pleasing way, but that does not mean those parts should be omitted, especially in such a short work.

Unnecessarily abridged, censored version
