Vergers: Rilke's French Orchard

To mark the centenary of Rilke’s death there will be a series of Oxford Centenary Readings held in the Queen’s College in HT 2025. These will be informal papers with plenty of discussion, about one poem or a handful of poems, that offer close readings and new insights. Papers will be in English and English translations will be provided for all poems and quotations (except for the session in week 4 with the visiting poets) making these sessions accessible to anyone with an interest in this remarkable poet and poetry in general.
