In the summer of 1969 the poet Paul Celan, a Romanian Polish Jew, accepted an invitation from Martin Heidegger, a Nazi Party member, to visit him in the Black Forest, hoping perhaps for a word of apology. This handsome edition features charcoal drawings and full colour reproductions of watercolours by Donald Teskey specially created in response to this work. 400 copies are numbered and signed by the author. 350 copies only are for sale. Printed on Rives Artist and hardbound in linen with blind embossed title and in a Pergamenata wraparound.
