For nearly a century  eager writers and young poets  as well as those simply looking for a
purpose in life  have embraced the wisdom of Rainer Maria Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet 
first published in 1929. Most readers and scholars have long assumed that the letters from the
young poet were forever lost to posterity. Yet  shockingly  these letters were recently
uncovered in Germany  and now the acclaimed translator Damion Searls has not only cast a fresh
eye on Rilke’s original letters but also those of the young poet ” Franz Xaver Kappus  an
Austrian military cadet and an aspiring poet. This timeless edition  in addition to presenting
their dialogue together for the first time in English  provides a new window into the workings
of Rilke’s visionary poetic and philosophical mind  allowing us to reexperience the literary
genius of one of the most inspiring works of twentieth-century literature.
