RILKE’S BOOK OF HOURS: LOVE POEMS TO GOD

While Visiting Russia During His Twenties, Rainer Maria Rilke, One Of The Twentieth Century’s Greatest Poets, Was Moved By A Simple Spirituality He Encountered There. Inspired, Rilke Returned To Germany And Put Down On Paper What He Felt Were Spontaneously Received Prayers. Rilke’s Book Of Hours Is The Invigorating Vision Of Spiritual Practice For The Secular World, And A Work That Seems Remarkably Prescient Tody, One Hundred Years After It Was Written. Translated By Anita Barrows And Joanna Macy. English And German.
