"Even though each of these letters of condolence is personalized with intimate detail, together they hammer home Rilke's remarkable truth about the death of another: that the pain of it can force us into a 'deeper . . . level of life' and render us more 'vibrant.' Here we have a great poet's reflections on our greatest mystery." --Billy Collins "This rhapsodic volume teaches us that death is not a negation but a deepening experience in the onslaught of existence. And that as we live our lives, it is possible to feel not sadness or melancholy but a rush of power as the life of others passes into us. What a wise and victorious book!" --Henri Cole
