His rare spiritual vision speaks uniquely in a time when many are seeking freedom of thought and a more wholistic way of living. Written by two award-winning writers who have journeyed deeply with Rilke, this book invites readers--with Rilke--to \"live\" the deep questions facing us in our day, embracing the poet's refusal to reach for simplistic \"answers.\" Through the originality and insight of their writing, Burrows and Dowrick honor readers' own experiences and, in conversation with Rilke, invite them to examine their lives and \"desire the change,\" as the poet put it. In so doing, they bring sublime poetry into the heart of daily life, where the gifts it carries are most needed. All translations are by Mark S. Burrows, a widely respected Rilke scholar and translator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark S.
