Light-Force / Celan, Paul ; Jack A. Hirschman, translator ; Angela Beske, translator., 1996

 Item
Identifier: CC-30500-31928
Scope and Contents

In his introduction ot this volume, Jack Hirschman writes, "Celan, as is somewhat known, especially in his later books of poems, writes in last-breaths, but with a zimzummed contraction that allows a line of light emerging from the holocaustic and therefore deepest silence of our epoch to touch our forked existences like a wand of witness that sounds our depths. As every day more and more of us are being driven to those voids and abysses in a 'free' world growing into a vast prison, it is hoped that Paul's words, the revolutionary enemy of triviality and indifference, fill your eyes with their millions of voices." The graphic drawings are by David Meltzer. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

One major exponent of the art of froissage is Jirí Kolar.In his lifetime, Kolar acquired a reputation as one of the most inventive 20th-century Czech artists. A member of Group 42 and the first Czech Group of Experimental Poetry, he assisted in the development of the collage techniques of froissage and confrontage. During that time, writing poems and crumpling up pieces of paper were considered subversive activities and were discouraged by the then-powerful Communist regime. Kolar endured harassment and imprisonment, and eventually emigrated to France, where he was finally able to attain international renown for his work.Froissage is a unique art in which the contours of a crumpled piece of paper are used to create a drawing. Currently on display in a small gallery at the French Institute, Kolar's froissages...
