Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke

emotional inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

I bought this book in hopes that these letters could mean something for me too, as a writer. I was not prepared for the profound thoughts Rilke has in these letters, whether about writing or emotions. Rilke has a way of describing that leaves me in awe.

I am near speechless. I know that I will pick this up again, and again, and find countless hidden gems I didn't on the first time around. I hope to one day have the same grasp of life has he seems to have in these letters.
