Probing reassessment of the relation between Celan's poetry and
Heidegger's thought. The relevance of Martin Heidegger's thinking to
Paul Celan's poetry is well known. Between Celan and Heidegger
proposes that, while the relation between them is undeniable, it is
also marked by irreducible discord. Pablo Oyarzun begins with a
deconstruction of Celan's Todtnauberg, written after the poet visited
Heidegger in his Schwarzwald cabin. The poem stands as a milestone,
not only in the complex relationship between the two men but also in
the state of poetry and philosophy in late modernity, in the aftermath
of the Holocaust. Discussion then turns to The Meridian, Celan's
acceptance speech for the prestigious Büchner Prize for German
language literature. Other issues are insistently addressed-place,
art, language, pain, existence, and the Heideggerian notion of
dialogue-as Oyarzun revisits several essential poems from Celan's
oeuvre. A rare translation of Oyarzun's work into English, Between
Celan and Heidegger affirms the uniqueness of Celan's poetry in
confrontation both with Heidegger's discourse on Dichtung (a poetic
saying centered in the idea of gathering) and with Western
philosophical notions of art, technē, mimesis, poiesis, language, and
thinking more broadly.
