Breathturn (Atemwende) (Sun & Moon Classics)

Translated from the German by Pierre Joris, this book is the first of three titles of Celan's poetry written in his last years before suicide. Published originally by Sun & Moon Press, this volume was a major success and helped, along with other titles published in mid 1990s, to reevaluate Celan's significance in the 20th century.
