Following Rilke's advice to live the questions, this book invites us to draw upon his startling insights and often unconventional wisdom to see ourselves as ripening, unfolding, and always becoming.
This is a book to savor, soaking up the rewards of stories, insights, and provocations about the passage of our lives. --Sally Gillespie, author of Climate Crisis and Consciousness: Re-imagining our World and Ourselves
You Are the Future beckons us to discover a wise way to live a life in the company of self and others. --Pádraig Ó Tuama, poet, peace activist, and host of On Being's Poetry Unbound
Rainer Maria Rilke's poetry has inspired readers for more than a century, and never more so than now. His rare spiritual vision speaks uniquely in a time when many are seeking freedom of thought and a more wholistic way of living. Written by two award-winning writers who have journeyed deeply with Rilke, this book invites readers--with Rilke--to live the deep questions facing us in our day, embracing the poet's refusal to reach for simplistic answers. Through the originality and insight of their writing, Burrows and Dowrick honor readers' own experiences and, in conversation with Rilke, invite them to examine their lives and desire the change, as the poet put it. In so doing, they bring sublime poetry into the heart of daily life, where the gifts it carries are most needed. All translations are by Mark S. Burrows, a widely respected Rilke scholar and translator.
