In this extraordinary conversation, Polly and Joanna talk about her translations of and commentary on the poetry and letters of Rainer Maria Rilke. Rilke’s ideas and insights about living fully as the means of creating God and world have guided Joanna in her personal life through the decades since her mid-twenties. While she herself was engaged in political and social activism, and Buddhist practice, her approach to everything was guided by Rilke’s unique perceptions of reality. Together here, Polly and Joanna laugh about and discover new perspectives on their own lives.
