gotta say, this ROCKED. amazing. love paul celan. i can see why adorno changed his mind viz. poetry over this. for one i did just love the german prose and appreciated the translation given how difficult any of it is to translate. but mostly, you could really just feel the stunned, speechless, post-shoah silence in his poetry. said everything in so few words, but never came off as minimalist, just, well, traumatized? stunned the reader into silence as well. damn i really love paul celan. hope he got therapy
