Celan's English language readers, and readers to come, will be deeply grateful for this new translation of his third book. I admire David Young's clear and respectful introduction, generous to his colleagues in Celan translation, and helpful in providing a broad context for this poetry; and I admire, especially, his faithfulness in spirit as he becomes a "water-diviner" of Celan's work. Young is a subtle, trusting reader of the ways this poet of poets took - as he had to - to create a completely new poetry. - Jean Valentine

Celan, Paul: - Paul Celan, now widely acknowledged as one the most important poets of the twentieth century, built a poetic vocabulary with which to express, slowly and painfully, the losses he had endured: his parents, victims of the Nazi death-camps; his fellow Jews of Europe; his native country, Romania, from which he fled the Stalinist takeover; and the poetic language, German, which had been so thoroughly corrupted and misused by the Third Reich. His reconstituting of German as a literary language, along with other writers like Gunter Eich and Nelly Sachs, remains one of the most redemptive acts of our time. He died in 1970.
