Over the last half century Paul Celan has emerged as the iconic poet of the postwar\/post-Holocaust period\u2014for some of us the greatest German-language poet of the twentieth century as a whole.\u00a0 To those for whom he has served as a guide or beacon, his Meridian speech from 1960 remains his most telling testament to the powers and problematics of poetry and art.\u00a0 Now, in this remarkable work of scholarship, a still greater body of poetics and poesis comes to light.\u00a0 Inaugurated by Bernhard B\u00f6schenstein and Heino Schmull, and carried over into English by poet and translator Pierre Joris, Celan\u2019s celebration of the uncanny and transitory appears along with its several early versions and with a range of source materials that make up a poetic collage, an implicit epic, in their own right.\u00a0 Those who know how to read it will find sustenance here for years to come. \u2014Jerome Rothenberg<\/p>\n

This meticulous, fascinating, and, finally, compelling edition begins by unlocking what seems to be the work\u2019s multifoliate nature. Ultimately, though, and with the help of Pierre Joris\u2019s eloquent translation, we discover that that under the many surfaces of this magisterial essay is an abyss of poetic thinking struggling to emerge into the light of our encounter. \u2014 Charles Bernstein<\/p>\n

It may seem quixotic to undertake a translation of all the notes and drafts leading up to “The Meridian.” However, with a poet of Celan\u2019s importance \u2014a poet not given to writing statements at all: his Collected Prose fits within 50 pages \u2014 even just tracing the genesis of this major poetics statement would be worth while. But what we have here is more: it amounts to a record of Celan\u2019s thinking about poetry. In other words, it\u2019s a treasure. \u2014 Rosmarie Waldrop<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
