"Poetic Affairs" deals with the complex and fascinating interface
between literature and life through the prism of the lives and
works of three outstanding poets: the German-Jewish poet and
Holocaust survivor, Paul Celan (1920-1970); the Leningrad native,
U.S. poet laureate, and Nobel Prize winner, Joseph Brodsky
(1940-1996); and Germany's premier contemporary poet, Durs Grunbein
(born 1962). Focusing on their poetic dialogues with such
interlocutors as Shakespeare, Seneca, and Byron,
respectively--veritable love affairs unfolding in and through
poetry--Eskin offers unprecedented readings of Celan's, Brodsky's,
and Grunbein's lives and works and discloses the ways in which
poetry articulates and remains faithful to the manifold
"truths"--historical, political, poetic, erotic--determining human
existence.
