His quest, however, is not only reflective: there is in Celan's writing a profound need and desire to create a new, inhabitable world and a new language for it. In \u003ci\u003eMemory Rose into Threshold Speech\u003c\/i\u003e, Celan's reader witnesses his poetry, which starts lush with surrealistic imagery, become gradually pared down; its syntax tightens and his trademark neologisms and word formations increase toward a polysemic language of great accuracy that tries, in the poet's own words, to measure the area of the given and the possible. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTranslated by the prize-winning poet and translator Pierre Joris, this bilingual edition follows the 2014 publication of \u003ci\u003eBreathturn into Timestead\u003c\/i\u003e, Celan's collected later poetry. All nine volumes of Celan's poetry are now available in Joris's carefully crafted translations, accompanied here by a new introduction, as well as extensive commentary by Joris and Barbara Wiedemann. The four volumes in this edition show the flowering of one of the major literary figures of the last century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume collects Celan's first four books: \u003ci\u003eMohn und Gedächtnis (Poppy and Memory)\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eVon \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchwelle zu Schwelle (Threshold to Threshold)\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSprachgitter (Speechgrille)\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eDie Niemandsrose\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e (NoOnesRose)\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaul Celan\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Czernowitz, Bukovina, in 1920, and is widely considered to be one of the most innovative poets of the twentieth century.
