A review by giannarodriguez
Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke

4.0

the way that rilke wrote about solitude was very poetic and, along with some other things he said, really changed my perspective on being alone. the message that will stick with me the most is that the sadness that we feel is what brings us to the moments of victory, and that we must feel the sadness and solitude whole heartedly in order to reach our full potential. the way he spoke was beautiful and i’m sure the life of the person he wrote to changed positively with his letters.
