Neue Gedichte by Rainer Maria Rilke

"Neue Gedichte" by Rainer Maria Rilke is a two-part poetry collection written between 1902 and 1908. These intensely visual poems mark a radical shift in Rilke's work—from emotional interiority to precise observation of the external world. Influenced by sculptor Auguste Rodin and painter Paul Cézanne, Rilke crafted what he called "Dinggedichte" or "Thing-Poems," works so concentrated they become objects themselves. Each volume opens with poems about Apollo sculptures, setting the tone for verse that transforms seeing into craft and surfaces into profound artistic statements.
