Rainer Maria Rilke's fifty-five Sonnets to Orpheus were written over a few days in an astonishing burst of inspiration. Described by the author as "a balm for wounded souls," the sequence is among the most famous works of modernist literature, and Christiane Marks's fresh new translation succeeds in recapturing Rilke's music--often sacrificed in translation--opening a new window on these poems, for old and new Rilke lovers alike.
