Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke

inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.25

This book feels like having a heart-to-heart with a wise mentor. Rilke gives some truly inspiring advice, and his prose is absolutely beautiful. It’s the kind of book that makes you want to pause and reflect on every other page.

The only thing I wish for is a version that includes Kappus' letters too. It would have been great to have that additional context and see the full conversation between them. Overall, though, it's a wonderful read.
