New Introduction and New Translation by Ulrich Baer "You ask whether your poems are good. You are asking me. You have asked others before. You are sending your poems to magazines. You compare them to other poems and worry when certain editors reject your efforts. Well (since you permit me to offer advice), I ask you to stop all of that right now. You are looking toward the outside, and that above all is the one thing you should not do at this moment. Nobody can give you advice and help you. Nobody. There is only one way. Go within yourself. Explore the cause that compels you to write; examine whether it plunges its roots into the deepest part of your heart. Admit to yourself whether you would have to die if you were kept from writing. Above all: ask yourself in the most silent hour of your night: “Must I write?” Dig within yourself for a deep answer. And if the answer is affirmative, if you can counter this grave question with a strong and simple “I must,” then build your life according to this need." —Letter I, Letters to a Young Poet Also from Warbler Press — A New, Original Edition of Short Excerpts from Rilke's Writings on Love from Warbler Press This slender volume is organized into four chapters and includes a brief afterword by world renowned Rilke translator and scholar Ulrich Baer, University Professor at New York University.
