Snow has rendered with great skill and accuracy a work both familiar and unknown, more complicated and more immediate than many have suspected, at once grave, mysterious, and beautiful." --<i>Edward Hirsch</i> <p/>"How much setting straight Snow's new translation of <i>The Book of Images</i> accomplishes! With these sorrowing and luminous poems to lead up to Snow's two volumes of the <i>New Poems</i>, it is possible to gain, for the first time in English, a consistent perspective of Rilke's difficult canon, here restored and disclosed to stunning effect." --<i>Richard Howard</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Edward Snow</b> has received the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award and the PEN Award for Poetry in Translation for his many renderings of Rilke.
