Late Celan
Sometimes it's just a word or phrase that catches. Takes you somewhere. Off the page. Back. Forward. Nowhere. Doesn't mean you've even come close to "capturing Celan." * From SNOWPART ( SCHNEEPART) TO SPEAK WITH the blind alleys of the opposite, of its expatriated meaning --: to chew this bread, with writing-teeth MIT DEN SACKGASSEN sprechen vom Gegenüber, von seiner expatriierten Bedeutung --: dieses Brot kauen, mit Schreibzähnen. [Translation by Pierre Joris]
