>I was browsing around in Barnes and Nobles and they actually had several
different collections available...the most tempting was a translation by
Galway Kinnell. But instead I picked up a slick looking thing with a navy
blue and gold toned dustjacket, had a photo of Rilke on the cover. It had a
cross section of his poetry and prose, with the original German facing the
English translation.

I've had to hold off on the Kinnell due to $. Have you read his poem
sequence _The Book of Nightmares_, from circa 1971? There is an obvious
indebtedness to Rilke's _Duino Elegies_, but I doubt Rilke could have
written Kinnell's book.
The description of your Rilke book doesn't sound familiar. Still curious.
