Reviews
“Though Freedman's biography may muffle Rilke's voice, it comes through like a ringing glass in Uncollected Poems, translated by Edward Snow, who over the years has given readers without German award-winning versions of The Book of Images (1905) and New Poems (1907-1908). Snow is, with Stephen Mitchell and David Young, among the most trustworthy and exhilarating of Rilke's contemporary translators.”{{cite news| url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/books/reviews/rilke.htm| title=Devil or Angel| author=Michael Dirda| newspaper=Washington Post| date=March 31, 1996 }}
