4.9/5 (11993 ratings)

Description:Perhaps the greatest lyric poet of the twentieth century, Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) was born in prague and led a nomadic existence, living in Germany, Russia, Spain, Italy and France before his death in Switzerland from leukaemia.He dedicated himself exclusively to his work, including the New Poems (1907-8), the semi-autobiographical novel The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge (1910), Duino Elegies (1923) and Sonnets to Orpheus(1923).Martyn Crucefix's own poetry- for which he has won numerous prizes, including a major Eric Gregory award and a Hawthornden Fellowship- has been praised as 'urgent, heartfelt, controlled and masterful' (Poetry London). His collections include BeneathTremendous Rain(1990), At The Mountjoy Hotel(1993), On Whistler Mountain(1994), A Madder Ghost(Enitharmon,1997), An English Nazareth (Enitharmon,2004)and Hurt (Enitharmon, 2012). His translation of Rilke Duino Elegies (Enitharmon, 2006)was shortlisted for the Corneliu Popescu Prize and chosen by the novelist Philip Pullman as of his 40 favourite books.'There has been many translations of Rilke's rapidly composed Sonnets to Orpheus of 1992, and every time the voice of the original has modified, deepened, and grown. The sonnets are, as always with Rilke, complex, sometimes lucid, at other times veiled but always passionate. they are some of the greatest philosophical poems of the century. Martyn Crucefix's impressive previous translations of the Duino Elegies has accustomed us to a way of hearing Rilke, but these are, if anything, more beautiful and natural versions, the form falling lightly on the ear, the thought tantalisingly clear in these bold explorations at the edge of sensibility.'
