The Rilke Podcast

April 18, 2020 By Ben McEvoy

Today we’re talking about Rilke. Not the great man’s work of poetry, but his advice to writers in a series of life-changing letters.

Get the book:

  • Letters to a Young Poet

Read the article:

  • Life Lessons from Rainer Maria Rilke

The podcast includes talk of how to find your calling, solitude, loneliness, depression, art, love, self-love, death, and courage.
