The Waldrop translations is out! Received a copy yesterday, started reading it today. It’s the kind of genre-bending memoir/lit crit/poem you don’t see often enough.

Great to hear that Rosmarie has been translating Daive’s memoir of Celan. It is an extraordinary work. The word “haunting” has become stale with misuse and overuse, but that is exactly how I was struck by Daive’s book when I first read it years back.

Thanks too, as ever, for all posts.

Sorry, your translations. I was reading Jerome Rothenberg’s blog at the same time. Forgive me.

That sounds fantastic, I can’t wait to read it. And I still haven’t got copies of Pierre Joris’ translations, though I must. I’ve got (and thoroughly read) both the Hamburger and Felstiner volumes, and Felsteiner’s biography, and drank them, like water.
