Andningsvändning by Paul Celan

A late collection of compressed, often hermetic poems that confronts language’s limits and possibilities in the wake of trauma, repeatedly returning to motifs of breath, silence and naming; the work folds jagged, elliptical imagery and neologisms into incantatory rhythms that both mourn loss and seek a fragile renewal of speech, demanding careful, patient reading as it moves between rupture, memory and the attempt to make meaning out of absence.
