Continuing the work he began withBreathturn andThreadsuns, Celan further explores the great poetic "Wende" or change that characterized his last three works. Once again this bilingual volume, translated in this edition for the first time in English, reveals the importance of the great Romanian-German poet, who lived for most of his life in France. Translator Pierre Joris has achieved a great feat in bringing these three volumes into the English language.
