Rilke’s Poetry of the Real Mind with Greg Glazner

Primarily through four books––The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge, New Poems, Duino Elegies, and The Sonnets to Orpheus––Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) has become one of the most influential poets of the twentieth century. This seminar will identify Rilke as a poet who gives us a kind of knowledge that science omits and will contrast his methods with those of artificial intelligence and brain theory.
