Spirituality.   Love.   Impatience of the young.   Power of the female human being.

Twenty-seven-year-old  Austrian poet and novelist RAINER MARIA RILKE managed to tackle all of those weighty topics in his letters to a young aspiring artist in the early 1900s. Collected and published after his death, Letters to a Young Poet addresses all that we fear and question about the life as a creative. But as Rilke attests, the quieter we are, the closer we move towards our art. Fate emerges from within us.
