Sheryl Massaro's duino elegies offers an interpretation, rather than a new traditional translation, of Rainer Maria Rilke's seminal collection of ten elegies. In an effort toward making the poems more understandable to modern audiences, some of Rilke's allusions are clarified and a few take a backseat to flow and meaning. Overall, Massaro's objective is to remove impediments to Rilke's concept of life as a continuum.

Autorenporträt
Sheryl Massaro is an oil painter, poet, and photographer based in Frederick, MD. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing/Poetry from The American University and studied with several key poets, including Allen Ginsberg, Stanley Kunitz, W.S. Merwin, et al. Her other books include two collections of her poetry: afloat-a raft of water poems and a generation -30 years of poetry.Massaro's visual art and poetry, though often based on the recognizable, share a deeper, "off to the side" look at life than the purely representational. In each of these arts, she taps into and conveys life's undertow-the unspoken, unseen energy that binds artists and their readers or viewers.
