Daive's grief at the loss of his friend finds expression in \u003cem\u003eUnder the Dome\u003c\/em\u003e, where we are given an intimate insight into Celan's last years, at the height of his poetic powers, and as he approached the moment when he would succumb to the debilitating emotional pain of a Holocaust survivor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eUnder the Dome, \u003c\/em\u003eJean Daive illuminates Celan's process of thinking about poetry, grappling with questions of where it comes from and what it does: invaluable insights about poetry's relation to history and ethics, and how poems offer pathways into a deeper grasp of our past and present.
