BRIAN LYNCH

PAUL CELAN : 65 POEMS

translations from the German
by
Brian Lynch with Peter Jankowsky

Dublin, Raven Arts Press
1985

This book sold out rapidly - there was a great interest then (and there is still) in Celan's work. The publishers were grudging about permissions, insisted the edition should be confined to Ireland, and as a consequence a second edition was not pursued. Peter Jankowsky and I subsequently did translations of a further ten poems which were published in 'Krino' and the large volume that anthologised that magazine.
For more information on Peter Jankowsky see the links to 'Easter Snow' and the TV drama 'Caught in a free State'.
