Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters To A Young Poet - Conventions and Superficiality - Sadler's Lectures by Gregory B. Sadler published on 2019-11-22T20:51:58Z This lecture discusses the 20th century poet, novelist, and philosopher, Rainer Maria Rilke's work Letters to a Young Poet, and examines in particular his diagnoses of superficiality and sterility coming from a reliance upon conventions and a conventional way of life. This can be an issue even for those who aim to avoid or escape conventions, as they fall into yet another set of conventions.
