Reviews of Complete French Poems of Rainer Maria Rilke

“These are poems of meticulous insight and feeling, rather than the grand themes of universal order and worldly destiny found in Rilke’s earlier German work. As such, almost as intellectual ballast, the French poems give new significance and dimension to Rilke’s canon.” —Chicago Sun Times

“Poulin is a deft translator, with sympathy for Rilke’s ideas and a nice sense of rhythm of lines.” —The Washington Post
