Items related to Duino Elegies
Named after the Castle of Duino on a rocky headland of the Adriatic, the "Duino Elegies" speak in a voice that is both intimate and majestic on the mysteries of human life and our attempt, in the words of the translator, "to use our self-consciousness to some advantage: to transcend, through art and the imagination, our self-deception and our fear".

From the Back Cover:
"[Gary Miranda's translation is] the nearest to a definitive Elegies we're apt ever to get in the English language." --John Mood, Author of Rilke on Love and Other Dificulties
About the Author:
"This is among the three most beautiful books I know. With every reading, the poems grow larger, magnificent. No other translation compares to this one. Gary Miranda's fusion of music and meaning transforms Rilke's Elegies into living beings in English." --Jan Freeman, author of Hyena and director of Paris Press
Gary Miranda was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. His poetry has appeared in numerous magazines, including The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, and Poetry, and he has published five collections of poems. He has taught at various universities, including three years as Fulbright Lecturer in American Literature at the University of Athens and, most recently, as writer-in-residence at Reed College in Portland, OR.
