The Other Side of Air: A Celebration, in Poetry & Music, of Rainer Maria Rilke
Marking the centenary of Rainer Maria Rilke's death in 1926, the poet and translator Mark S. Burrows reads Rilke in his own English versions, with the sitarist David Whetstone accompanying. Burrows published a new translation of the Sonnets to Orpheus in 2024 and co-wrote You Are the Future with Stephanie Dowrick. Whetstone, a disciple of Ustad Vilayat Khan, toured for four decades with Robert Bly and Coleman Barks.
