Publisher Comments

"Paul Celan is one of the essential poetsand#151;not just of the twentieth century, but of all time. Pierre Joris's selections from the remarkable, heart-shattering work provide what is surely the best one-volume introduction to Celan ever published in English."and#151;Paul Auster

"No twentieth-century poet pierces the heart of language with such an exquisite blade as Paul Celan. With Pierre Joris and company's translations of key poems, poetics, letters, and exemplary commentary, it is as if we are reading Celan for the last time, once again."and#151;Charles Bernstein, author of With Strings

"Joris has dwelled during the better part of his life in Celan's words and silences and, as his brilliant introduction demonstrates, he has journeyed through the work's intricacies like very few others."and#151;Michael Palmer, author of The Promises of Glass

"A beautifuland#151;and necessaryand#151;book. Celan's charred radiance shines through every page."and#151;Richard Sieburth, translator of Hymns and Fragments

Synopsis

The best introduction to the work of Paul Celan, this anthology offers a broad collection of his writing in unsurpassed English translations along with a wealth of commentaries by major writers and philosophers. The present selection is based on Celan's own 1968 selected poems, though enlarged to include both earlier and later poems, as well as two prose works, The Meridian, Celan's core statement on poetics, and the narrative Conversation in the Mountains. This volume also includes letters to Celan's wife, the artist Gisand#232;le Celan-Lestrange; to his friend Erich Einhorn; and to Renand#233; Char and Jean-Paul Sartreand#151;all appearing here for the first time in English.

About the Author

One of the greatest poets to write in German and among the most gifted writers of the twentieth century in any language, Paul Celan was born in Czernowitz, Bukovina, in 1920. He survived the Holocaust and settled in Paris in 1948, where he lived until his suicide by drowning in 1970. Pierre Joris is the author of many books of poetry as well as a range of anthologies and translations; he recently published A Nomad Poetics, a volume of essays. In 2003 he was Berlin Prize fellow at the American Academy in Berlin. He is Professor of English at the State University of New York, Albany.
