Paul Celan (1920-1970) was a Romanian-born German language poet and translator.
"Celan pushes language to the limits of expressiveness in these
groping, incantatory pieces."--Publisher's Weekly
"The slimness of the book tells its own story of Celan's love
affair with silence . . . [Waldrop's English] has an idiomatic
adroitness that catches the pauses and suspensions in Celan's
breath [and] directs us to a sense of a more reserved,
hidden-hearted poet." --Choice
