Originally presented as a speech to the German Academy for Language
and Poetry on the occasion of Celan's acceptance of the Georg
Buchner Prize for literature, "The Meridian" is one of, if not
"the" most important poetological statement of the second half of
the twentieth century. Much more than a personal statement or
occasional piece, it is a meditation on the state of poetry and art
in general and a rigorous attempt to account for what poetry is,
can, and must be after the Holocaust. This definitive
historico-critical edition, available for the first time in
English, presents not only the first drafts, but also a vast array
of notes and preparatory work and a brief essay on Osip Mandelstam,
all of which work to expand the field of reference of Celan's
manifesto and reveal its true scope. Rich commentaries clarify
Celan's notes to authors as diverse as Leibniz, Scheler, Kafka,
Hofmannsthal, Husserl, Pascal, Valery, Heidegger, and others.
