Paul Celan wrote poetry that manages to be lyrical while sometimes skirting the edges of comprehensibility. His parents died in one of the Nazi death camps, not certain it was Auschwitz. He himself jumped into the river Seine in Paris in 1970, aged 49. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Paul+Celan">Read more on Last.fm</a>

Quotes
- “A little stallion gallops across the leafing fingers-Black the gate leaps open, I sing;How did we live here?”
- “Aspen tree, your leaves glance white into the dark.”
- “We stand by the window embracing, and people look up from the street:it is time they knew!It is time the stone made an effort to flower,time unrest had a beating heart.It is time it were time.It is time.”
- “You opened your eyes -I saw my darkness live. I see through it down to the bed; there too it is mine and lives.”

Encyclopedic overview
Paul Celan (/ˈsɛlæn/; German: [ˈtseːlaːn]; born Paul Antschel; 23 November 1920 – c. 20 April 1970) was a German-speaking Romanian poet, Holocaust survivor, and literary translator. He adopted his pen name (an anagram of the Romanian spelling Ancel) following the war and resided in France from 1949, becoming a naturalized French citizen in 1955.
Celan is regarded as one of the most important figures in German-language literature of the post-World War II era and a poet whose verse has gained an immortal place in the literary pantheon. Celan's poetry, with its many radical poetic and linguistic innovations, is characterized by a complicated and cryptic style that deviates from poetic conventions.
