This is among the three most beautiful books I know. With every reading, the poems grow larger, magnificent. No other translation compares to this one. Gary Miranda''s fusión of music and meaning transforma Rilke's Elegies into living beings in English." Jan Freeman, Author of Hiena and director of Paris Press.

Not a penultimate favorite, but this kind of poetry definitely sucks you deep inside the marrow of the bones of its message. It's a very flowing format and the words wrap around you slowly like ribbons to take into every sensation of it.

I almost devoured the whole thing in one sitting. ( )

Rilke's masterpiece (I think it's his masterpiece) had moments where I had to rest on the page and contemplate questions of eternity, like an existential stop-sign. Being real, I did feel like most of the time I was reading it to read it and so I appreciated the moments where I had my attention fixed, less on angels and more on the focus on human struggles.

Exactamente lo que dice la imagen, aunque tengo mis sospechas de que tanto la traducción como la distribución del texto en la edición que leí pudieron ir en detrimento del disfrute de esta obra. De todas formas, hubo pasajes que resonaron de manera en extremo notable en mi cabeza, sobretodo las elegías primera y última. Trataré de releerlo en el futuro.
Sumamente recomendado para quienes gusten de la poesía, en especial si pueden conseguir otra versión. ( )
