Product Description
These have been called the most famous and beloved letters of our century. Rainer Maria Rilke himself said that much of his creative expression went into his correspondence, and here he touches upon a wide range of subjects that will interest writers, artists, and thinkers. This edition includes a new foreword by Kent Nerburn, author of Small Graces and Letters to My Son.

5 out of 5 stars A read sure to inspire   August 2, 2010
Jezabelle (KALIFORNIA, USA)
I give this as a gift to fellow poets but in all honesty this book will inspire anyone in any feild. I beautiful journey of wisdom and perspective.

This book will remain a fixture on my bookcase and in my heart. I purchased this book many moons ago and never read it. I had many an intention to read it just never did...until Aug 2009.

It didn't occur to me until I finally opened this book that I had yet to open it until the time was right. I unconsciously was saving the words of this book to savor when I needed them the most.

The passages contained in this book, without question, are brilliant words of wisdom to light the creative path in the dark times of self doubt. This book will remind creative types like myself that the path you are on is worthy of footprints, most importantly your footprints.A Song Beneath Silence (2nd Edition) (Volume 2)


5 out of 5 stars Amazing Book!   January 9, 2010

1 out of 5 stars Much ado about nothing.   June 13, 2009

I heard so many great things about this book that I was expecting so much more than it delivered. I think the writer is full of himself and is trying to elevate his miserable introverted life into something redemptive and grandiose. I found only a few snippets of anything that resembled wisdom; the rest was so much hot air.

5 out of 5 stars A true classic   April 6, 2009
H. Cordes

5 out of 5 stars This book is fantastic!   January 28, 2008

This little book though short in lenght packs a condensed form of life wisdom. Some of the insight Rilke writes to his friend are priceless. Rilke penetrates to the essence of a wide range issues from religious to material never preaching but more like asking his friend to truly examine his decisions in life and let no one else make his choices for him. This has to be one of my all time favorite books and it is a quick read as well.
