Translated from the German by Pierre Joris--winner of the 2004 PEN Translation Award for Celan's Lightduress--the is the first of Celan's three major books of poetry before his death by suicide. Considered by many to be one of Celan's major writings, Breathturn brilliant reveals the Wende or turn of writing.
