dec 6

In looking at writers for this week, i discovered Rainer Maria Rilke. I knew very little about him, though I had heard about him. His birthday was earlier in the week and the Writer's Almanac mentioned him. I wanted to know more. So on Thursday morning I will be reading from a book of translations of his french poems. What a treat to discover a new voice, a great voice, a voice that has been a beacon for so long, yet I just now am nearer his shore.
