Selected Prose of Paul Celan

Paul Celan lived through some of the worst episodes of modern history, losing his parents at the hands of the German army and surviving a period in a labor camp. The prose writings of this important poet are sparse, but when collected relate a superior artistic consciousness, and a deeply felt poetic response to the horrors of the recent past.
