Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke
4.0

Excellent!!! Read this for book club! Sad to say I probably wouldn’t have picked this up on my own but I loved it. I wish I had read this when I was 16. Very insightful reflections on joy and suffering and growing up!

“If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself, tell yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches; for to the creator there is no poverty and no poor indifferent place.”
