"Paul Celan is one of the essential poets--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."--Paul Auster

"No twentieth-century poet pierces the heart of language with such an exquisite blade as Paul Celan. With Pierre Joris & 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."--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."--Michael Palmer, author of The Promises of Glass

"A beautiful--and necessary--book. Celan's charred radiance shines through every page."--Richard Sieburth, translator of Hymns and Fragments

Industry Reviews

"In this generous collection of Celan's poetry, prose, and letters, Joris and his collaborators have done an excellent job of turning Celan's work into English." * Forward Reviews *
"One of Celan's best translators [Joris] has gathered selections that span the poet's career and represent seven translators. . . . This is a handy volume for those wishing to explore the work of a complex and visionary writer." * Bloomsbury Review *
