"Unlike previous selected translations, this volume offers American readers the first glimpse into the sustained practice of this poet covering the period of his writing between 1963 and 1965....Amazingly, Joris has reimagined in English the radiating word clusters and suspenseful, probing syntax of the originals and has resisted the impulse to transform Celan's uncommon usage into 'natural' American speech patterns--what would be a devastatingly 'readable' but flawed translation."
Benjamin Hollander, San Francisco Review of Books, March/April 1996
Review:"German-language poet and Holocaust survivor's late work, this first English translation provides a lengthy introduction that helps explicate these difficult, groundbreaking poems and the life of the poet who critic George Steiner called 'almost certainly the major European poet of the period after 1945.'"
Reform Judaism, Spring 1996
