"Paul Celan : 70 Poems is a portable selection of some of this great writer's most essential work, translated by Michael Hambirger, who for more than forty years has provided the English-speaking world with the truest access to Celan. Arranged in order of the poems' original publication, this volume is an essential distillation of Celan's œuvre, both for those who already cherish his writing and those seeking to discover it for the first time."--Page 4 of cover.
