IMAGES OF MAINE
"Beginnings are everywhere in the pages of For You Are the Future, as they are in life, shifting--often subtly and without demand--how we might regard ourselves. How we might go beyond what we have been taught. How we might resist the temptations of bitterness. Or resentment. Or any degree of inner harshness. And move forward to make the future. How we might live alongside others, and in the complexity and beauty and challenge of our awesome shared physical world, with greater ease and apprecation. It is the appreciation of this physical world--an awareness of its fragility and our own--that will turn our urgen environmental efforts into willing acts of love."
-from "To Be a Beginner," the opening chapter from For You Are the Future: Living the Questions with Rainer Maria Rilke, co-authored with Stephanie Dowrick

*** "READING RILKE TODAY": A conversation with the Irish poet Pádraig Ó Tuama and Krista Tippett ("On Being" radio show/podcast)
Join us for this annual event celebrating the visionary poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke. This year I will be joined, again, by the Irish poet and podcaster Pádraig Ó Tuama (host of the “Poetry Unbound” podcast), with the conversation widened to welcome award-winning broadcaster and New York Times bestselling author Krista Tippett (founder of the “On Being” public radio show and podcast). We will discuss the relevance and impact of Rilke's writings on our lives today, drawing in part from my new translation of Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus. This event is free; for more information and to register, click here. 2024).
