Letters to a young poet

In 1902, a 19-year-old aspiring poet named Franz Kappus wrote to Rainer Maria Rilke seeking advice on his poetry. These ten letters by Rainer Maria Rilke speak directly to the young, offering unguarded thoughts on such diverse subjects as creativity, solitude, self-reliance, and art which is only another way of living, Rilke writes.
