DEEP DIVE: Letters to a Young Poet, Part 2
Spirituality. Love. Impatience of the young. Power of the female human being.Twenty-seven-year-old Austrian poet and novelist RAINER MARIA RILKE managed to tackle all of those weighty topics in his letters to a young aspiring artist in the early 1900s. Collected and published after his death, Letters to a Young Poet addresses all that we fear and question about the life as a creative. But as Rilke attests, the quieter we are, the closer we move towards our art.
