About The Author

Rainer Maria Rilke

Austro-German poet Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) was virtually unknown during his lifetime, although his poetry was recognized and admired by leading European artists. He achieved international acclaim with his last two works, Duino Elegies and Sonnets to Orpheus, and he has come to be recognized as a master of verse.
