Letters to a Young Poet: With the Letters to Rilke from the ''Young Poet' by Franz Xaver Kappus, Rainer Maria Rilke, Damion Searls
4.0
I loved the inclusion of Kappus' letters to Rilke. It was heartwarming to read his boyish voice, enthusiastic but also somewhat at a loss.
As for Rilke's letters themselves, I could benefit from multiple rereads of various translations. I just want to ingrain his words in my mind.

Very interesting concept, but the disjointed storyline meant I couldn't connect with any particular time or group of characters.
