Rilke, over the course of the ten letters, proceeds to advise Kappus on how a poet should feel, love, and seek truth in trying to understand and experience the world around him and engage the world of art.

Kappus compiled and published the letters in 1929-three years after Rilke's death from leukemia. Kappus corresponded with the popular poet and author from 1902 to 1908 seeking his advice as to the quality of his poetry, and in deciding between a literary career or a career as an officer in the Austro-Hungarian Army. Rilke, the son of an Austrian army officer, had studied at the academy's lower school at Sankt Pölten in the 1890s.
