FROM THRESHOLD TO THRESHOLD 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

About the Author, Paul Celan
Paul Celan, now widely acknowledged as one the most important poets of the twentieth century, built a poetic vocabulary with which to express, slowly and painfully, the losses he had endured: his parents, victims of the Nazi death-camps; his fellow Jews of Europe; his native country, Romania, from which he fled the Stalinist takeover; and the poetic language, German, which had been so thoroughly corrupted and misused by the Third Reich. His reconstituting of German as a literary language, along with other writers like Günter Eich and Nelly Sachs, remains one of the most redemptive acts of our time. He died in 1970.
About the Translator, David Young
David Young is the author of ten books of poetry, most recently Black Lab (2006) and of Seasoning: A Poet’s Year (1999). He has also translated a wide range of poets, including authors such as Rilke, Petrarch, Miroslav Holub, Montale, and Du Fu. This collection is the first of three by Celan that he is undertaking to present in their entirety. He presently works as an editor at Oberlin College Press. Cover image: Gisèle Celan-Lestrange
