Letters to a Young Poet

Name: Letters to a Young Poet
Author: Rainer Maria Rilke (also rec’d by Jodie Foster )

by Rainer Maria Rilke (also rec’d by Jodie Foster )

This is the ultimate comfort read. The book is what the title suggests: letters from an older poet to a younger one. The great thing about Rilke’s advice is that it acknowledges the darkness and suffering of existence, yet manages despite that — or maybe even because of that — to inspire.
