It ranks as its author\u2019s most powerful statement concerning the mysterious but powerful bond between poetry and life. Writing in the shadow of the Holocaust, Celan asks how our words and our art should deal with human violence and depravity. Richly supplemented with extensive notes and critical commentaries, Pierre Joris\u2019s meticulous translation dramatically demonstrates why The Meridian stands as one of twentieth \u2013 century literature\u2019s seminal documents.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nFor more information on both prize and recipient, see the MLA\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/d31hzlhk6di2h5.cloudfront.net\/20131202\/ff\/98\/8a\/3b\/2981e2786c8585bc5f5394f4\/SCT_Joris.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s what the jury had to say about their choice: Paul Celan\u2019s The Meridian was originally delivered as an acceptance speech to the German Academy for Language and Poetry, which had honored him in&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[796,908,83,90,103],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11212","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-book-award","category-celebration","category-paul-celan","category-poetics","category-translation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11212"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11212\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11223,"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11212\/revisions\/11223"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11212"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
