Rilke's extraordinary sensitivity to the many and varied landscapes that he
experienced can throw much light on the notions of accommodating self and non-self,
and part and whole, that he repeatedly wrestles with in his poetry. By exmaining
the landscape experiences recorded in Rilke's letters, and the landscape imagery
of his poetry, John Sandford shows how the opaque existential and metaphysical
concerns of a notoriously 'difficult' poet are exemplified in a more tangible
and less elusive form in the relation of the individual to the landscapes about
him.
