Description

Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke is one of the most beloved literary works of the twentieth century. Written as a series of letters to a young aspiring writer, it offers timeless reflections on creativity, patience, solitude, love, and the courage to live an authentic inner life.

This Norton Centenary Edition presents the classic M. D. Herter Norton translation in a beautifully designed hardcover, featuring elegant typography, decorative endpapers, and gilt-stamped cloth boards. With a new foreword by Damon Searls and an afterword by Julia A. Reidhead, it honors both the literary and philosophical legacy of this enduring work.

A book to return to at different stages of life—and to keep close.
