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.
