Originally published as four clothbound editions ( The Roses and The Windows , The Astonishment of Origins , Orchards , and The Migration of Powers ), this large paperback brings together all of Rilke's French poems, as well as his hitherto unpublished Dedications and Fragments , in an exquisite English translation by A. Poulin, Jr. Before Poulin's important efforts, it wasn't widely known that Rilke--often deemed one of modernity's finest writers for his work in German--also wrote over 400 poems in French. These lyrics were composed toward the end of Rilke's life, after he had produced his masterworks, Duino Elegies and Sonnets to Orpheus . Yet the French poems are entirely of a piece with Rilke's characteristic themes, subjects, moods, and images. As Poulin notes in his Preface to The Complete French Poems : "The French lyrics [are] small poems of careful attentiveness to the things of this world [and] to the elusive states of being in which the world is poetically transformed."
