About this book

The Best of Rilke: 72 Form-True Verse Translations with Facing Originals, Commentary, and Compact Biography (English and German Edition) by Rilke, Rainer Maria. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780874514612.

Rainer Maria Rilke’s best poems are finally available in translations so faithful yet free flowing that a reader forgets they were not originally written in English. Applying the same principle of “form-true” rendering that earned him the Bollingen Prize for his translation of Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin, poet-translator Walter Arndt boldly claims to reproduce in English for the first time the prosodic identity of Rilke’s finest rhymed poems.
