      Dedicated to my large, wonderful, supportive family and circle of friends, but especially to the memory of my grandfather, Hermann Starke, who gave me my first Rilke volumes so many years ago, and to the memory of my father, Hans Buchinger, who read poetry aloud beautifully in several languages. And dedicated above all to my son, Noah Heringman, who first suggested that I translate these sonnets, and encouraged me every step of the way. Dies ist unser Buch!
