The second in the series of poetry books by Paul Celan written after his great “turn” in writing, Threadsuns was written in fast-paced, shifting moods, often containing a near-desperate sarcasm, as Celan collapses his concerns of mind, spirit, and language into a work of great continuity despite its complexity. Once again Pierre Joris has done an admirable job in translating Celan’s difficult texts into English.

About the Author

Born in Bukovina (now part of Romania) Celan saw his father and mother die because of the Nazi take over of their country and their imprisonment in camps. He spent most of his life in Paris writing in German before committing suicide. Pierre Joris lives in Albany, New York and teaches of SUNY-Albany.
