This was a core question for Paul Celan-poet, Jew, survivor-as he wrote in German, the language so brutally misused by Nazis. He answered with a body of difficult, brilliant work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShirley Glubka, approaching Celan's poetry for the first time in her 70s, found herself writing as well as reading: \"reading-through-writing.\" She worked in the ekphrastic tradition, producing twelve poems, each inspired by one of Celan's, \"as if I stood before a challenging, compelling painting, perhaps one bordering on the abstract, and found lines of a poem forming-description, interpretation, meditation, or something that flew off quite into its own sky.\" Twelve brief essays followed, companion pieces for the poems. Glubka offers these poem\/prose pairs, \"deeply conscious of my debt to Paul Celan,\" with an introduction based on her reading of Celan's famous \"Meridian\" speech. The result is an unusual, carefully crafted, thought-provoking collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shirley Glubka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8558447624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798558447620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.52w x 0.11d","brand":"Shirley Glubka","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43944029782271,"sku":"9798558447620","price":5.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_06e3eb49-c3c7-4d8f-a47f-d2462ca7f71f.jpg?v=1681501384","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/after-paul-celan-shirley-glubka-9798558447620","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
