Answering a Dead Poet: Rilke's Art of Metric Melody

What if a poet answered a dead man's verse with one of his own—across a full century? Martin Bidney did exactly that, translating Rilke's poems and writing a live poetic reply to each, from a panther's caged despair to monks finding meaning in a garden. This is a conversation that shouldn't be possible, happening anyway. Grab Martin's book, Rilke's Art of Metric Melody, Volume I, on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or at martinbidney.org.
