Rilke’s writings have had a shaping influence on readers over the century since his death in 1926. Already a bestselling poet and writer during his lifetime, his influence has grown exponentially over the century since his death. Many readers will remember the epiphanies they experienced when they read his Letters to a Young Poet in which he famously advised us not to seek answers but rather dare to “live the questions.” His poems—from his early Book of Hours (1905) to his last two collections, The Sonnets to Orpheus and The Duino Elegies (1923)—do just this: they invite us to live courageously and faithfully into what he described as “the Open”; to embrace the mysteries that are always close at hand; and to accept the “here-and-once-ness” of our life as an invitation to live abundantly.
