<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Poetry. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the German by David Young. Cover art by the author's wife, Gisele Celan-Lestrange. "Celan's English language readers, and readers to come, will be deeply grateful for this new translation of his second book. I admire David Young's clear and respectful introduction, generous to his colleagues in Celan translation, and helpful in providing a broad context for this poetry; and I admire, especially, his faithfulness in spirit as he becomes a 'water-diviner' of Celan's work. Young is a subtle, trusting reader of the ways this poet of poets took--as he had to--to create a completely new poetry."--Jean Valentine<br /><br />This collection is the second of three by Celan that David Young is undertaking to present in their entirety. He works at present as an editor at Oberlin College Press.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Poetry. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the German by David Young.
