Paul Celan is usually regarded as the quintessential Holocaust poet\u2014a poet whose mature years were spent in France, but who wrote his poetry, not in French, but in his native German\u2014a German he so resented as the language of his oppressors that he had to reinvent it. But what happens when we look at Celan\u2019s poetic language, especially his love lyric, elliptical and oblique as it is, in the context of its actual history and geography? Celan received a classical German education, as authorized by the\u00a0centralized k. & k. (kaiserlich und k\u00f6niglich)<\/i>\u00a0government of the Hapsburg Empire. This lecture will reconsider the language of his earlier love poetry, in the light of Celan\u2019s astonishing correspondence with the Austrian poet Ingeborg Bachmann. Join distinguished literary critic Marjorie Perloff as she takes a fresh look at Celan\u2019s poetic practice.<\/p>\n
