Drawn by some sympathetic note in his poems, young people often wrote to Rilke with their problems and hopes. From 1903 to 1908, Rilke wrote a series of remarkable responses to a young, would-be poet on poetry and on surviving as a sensitive observer in a harsh world. Those letters, still a fresh source of inspiration and insight, are accompanied here by a chronicle of Rilke's life that shows what he was experiencing in his own relationship to life and work when he wrote them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis edition of a beloved classic brings Rilke’s enduring wisdom about life, love, and art to a new generation, in the translation that first introduced him to the English-speaking world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLetters to a Young Poet\u003c\/i\u003e is expertly narrated by Tomás Larisch Frazer, and translated by M.D. Herter Norton.
