No One's Rose

Paul Celan was, by common consent, among the most important poets of the twentieth century. In the second half of that century, he has no rivals, not least because of his surviving the Holocaust and then confronting it through his art. This collection, No One's Rose, is the third of a group of three collections by Celan that he has undertaken to present in their entirety, the first two being From Threshold to Threshold, based on Von Schwelle zu Schwelle, and Language Behind Bars, based on Sprachgitter.
