From 1921-1926, he lived in southern Switzerland, in a region called the Valais. Following the completion of the \u003cem\u003eDuino Elegies\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSonnets to Orpheus\u003c\/em\u003e, Rilke began to work in both French and German. A collection of French poems addressed to the landscape of Valais, \u003cem\u003eQuatrains Valaisans\u003c\/em\u003e, was published in 1926. In May of that same year, Rilke sent his publishers an arrangement of German language poems as a possible manuscript; the bulk of these date to 1924, but the collection included both material culled from a recently recovered 1906 daybook and a final set of poems written over the last two years of his life. Rilke sent the last of these in August 1926; he would die of complications from leukaemia just four months later.\u003cbr\u003e This volume is the first English translation of these poems in the arrangement Rilke had set down in 1926. The arrangement translated here has only appeared in German as \u003cem\u003eAus Taschen-Büchern und Merk-Blättern\u003c\/em\u003e, (Insel-Verlag, 1950).\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 210\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.48 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 26, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47351226859769,"sku":"9781848616028","price":28.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Y3BsdHMwNU9JZnFUdm5najRnR2YyQT09.webp?v=1769795756","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/from-notebooks-and-personal-papers-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
