New Poems, 1907 (English and German Edition)

Translated by Edward Snow Winner of the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award.

Rilke's move to Paris in 1902 and his close association with Rodin led him in a new direction in his poetry. Between 1906 and 1908 he produced a torrent of brilliant work that he published in two volumes under the title Neue Gedichte: "New Poems."

As translator Edward Snow writes, these books "together constitute one of the great instances of the lyric quest for objective experience."
