"Poetry, ladies and gentlemen: an expression of infinitude, an expression of vain death and of mere Nothing."
The German-speaking Romanian poet, Holocaust survivor, and literary translator is r egarded as one of the most important figures in German-language literature of the post-World War II era and a poet whose verse has gained an immortal place in the literary pantheon. He adopted his pen name (an anagram of the Romanian spelling Ancel) following the war and resided in France from 1949, becoming a naturalized French citizen in 1955. Celan's poetry, with its many radical poetic and linguistic innovations, is characterized by a complicated and cryptic style that deviates from poetic conventions.
