Towards the end of his life the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) wrote nearly four hundred poems in French - notably the two collections published as "Les Fenetres" (The Windows) and "Les Roses". This title re-imagines Rilke's brief and fugitive lyrics as English poems. |
| Synopsis: |
Towards the end of his life the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) wrote nearly four hundred poems in French - notably the two collections published as "Les Fenetres" (The Windows) and "Les Roses". The emergence of a French Rilke provides the starting point rather than the terminus for Jo Shapcott's new collection, "Tender Taxes", which re-imagines Rilke's brief and fugitive lyrics as English poems. The occasion is Rilke, but these are more than versions: Shapcott's poems address this, arguing with the originals, crossing and re-crossing the frontier between translation and origination. Rilke and Shapcott are brought together in the shared incognito of a foreign language, 'speaking English through a French mouth'. |
