Abstract:

David Need is a religion professor at Duke who recently published a translation of Rainer Maria Rilke’s (1875-1926) poetry. The publication was a collaboration between Need, Durham’s Horse & Buggy Press, and artist Clare Johnson. The 500 copy letter-pressed edition focuses on Rilke’s rose poems about beauty love. Need, his printer, and Johnson attempted to reflect that by making a beautiful book that included the French originals with translations and original drawings.
