{"product_id":"letters-to-young-poet","title":"Letters To Young Poet","description":"Originally written from 1902-1908, Letters to a Young Poet is a compilation of famous German poet Rainer Maria Rilke's (1875-1926) thoughts and reflections on the vocation of writing. The letters urge his correspondent to look inward and understand his motivations for pursuing a life devoted to the written word, looking beyond those who attempt to criticize and critique his work. His advice can be extended to all young writers.\n\nFor the first time in twenty years, Anita Barrows and Joanna Macy offer a new translation of this classic work that speaks to a new generation of artists, poets, writers, and anyone attempting to live a meaningful life. With a new introduction and commentary on each letter, this edition places Rilke's letters in the context of today's world and the unique challenges of modern writers.","brand":"Penguin Random House LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48224028360945,"sku":"9781611806861","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/9757\/8890\/files\/7c5c70a522bf72ccb113164caa7564030f3f9050d24eeeabc33ffbba7030e513.jpg?v=1779996990","url":"https:\/\/shopsouthandpine.com\/products\/letters-to-young-poet","provider":"South \u0026 Pine and Blue Apple Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
