Romano Guardini described Rainer Maria Rilke as the "poet who had things of such importance to say about the end of our own age [and] was also a prophet of things to come." The complexity of Rilke is, then, "highly relevant to modern Man." Decades after Guardini's assessment, the reader who rediscovers Rilke will find a depth of mind and soul that display a profundity the post-modern reader only thinks he possesses.In an expanded collection of Rilke's sonnets, Rick Anthony Furtak not only makes this lyrical masterpiece accessible to the English reader, but he proves himself a master of sorts as well. Furtak's praised translation of Sonnets to Orpheus (University of Chicago Press, 2008) is surpassed in this His introduction that elaborates on Rilke's marriage of vision and voice, intention and enigma, haunted companionship and abandonment is a stand-alone marvel for the reader.
