A Year with Rilke: Daily Readings from the Best of Rainer Maria Rilke, edited by Joanna Macy and Anita Barrows (HarperOne, $22.99, 9780061854002/006185400X, November 2009) 

This is a good way to read Rilke--a bit at a time, to let it sink in and resonate. The temptation with Rilke, at least for me, is to overindulge and thus be overwhelmed by the beauty and profundity in his writing. In these selections from his poetry, prose, letters and journals, Rilke "points to the sacred as inseparable from the relations and processes of life."
