Originally presented as a speech to the German Academy for Language and Poetry on the occasion of Celan's acceptance of the Georg Büchner Prize for literature, The Meridian is one of, if not the most important poetological statement of the second half of the twentieth century. Much more than a personal statement or occasional piece, it is a meditation on the state of poetry and art in general and a rigorous attempt to account for what poetry is, can, and must be after the Holocaust. This definitive historico-critical edition, available for the first time in English, presents not only the first drafts, but also a vast array of notes and preparatory work and a brief essay on Osip Mandelstam, all of which work to expand the field of reference of Celan's manifesto and reveal its true scope. Rich commentaries clarify Celan's notes to authors as diverse as Leibniz, Scheler, Kafka, Hofmannsthal, Husserl, Pascal, Valéry, Heidegger, and others.
Listen to an interview about Celan's Meridian with translator Pierre Joris on the radio program Cross Cultural Poetics, hosted by poet and professor Leonard Schwartz. The shows airs on KAOS 89.3FM Olympia, Washington and is archived online by The University of Pennsylvania's Pennsound.

Review
"This translation of a critical edition represents, as Joris himself notes, an epic work. In minute detail it traces the origins and evolution of Celan's Meridian speech for an Anglophone readership, thus making Celan's text as close as possible to an 'original' work in a language other than the one in which it was conceived and published. The volume represents an important step in 'naturalizing' Celan into the English language and (almost) opening his creative process and universe to non-native speakers of German."—Dagmar C. G. Lorenz, Journal of Austrian Studies
"Over the last half century Paul Celan has emerged as the iconic poet of the postwar/post-Holocaust period—for some of us the greatest German-language poet of the twentieth century as a whole. To those for whom he has served as a guide or beacon, his Meridian speech from 1960 remains his most telling testament to the powers and problematics of poetry and art. Now, in this remarkable work of scholarship, a still greater body of poetics and poesis comes to light. Inaugurated by Bernhard Böschenstein and Heino Schmull, and carried over into English by poet and translator Pierre Joris, Celan's celebration of the uncanny and transitory appears along with its several early versions and with a range of source materials that make up a poetic collage, an implicit epic, in their own right. Those who know how to read it will find sustenance here for years to come."—Jerome Rothenberg
"The Meridian speech is one of Paul Celan's key works. This meticulous, fascinating, and, finally, compelling edition begins by unlocking what seems to be the work's multifoliate nature. Ultimately, though, and with the help of Pierre Joris's eloquent translation, we discover that that under the many surfaces of this magisterial essay is an abyss of poetic thinking struggling to emerge into the light of our encounter."—Charles Bernstein, University of Pennsylvania
"It may seem quixotic to undertake a translation of all the notes and drafts leading up to The Meridian. However, with a poet of Celan's importance—a poet not given to writing statements at all and whose collected prose amounts to some 50 pages—just tracing the genesis of this major poetics statement would be worthwhile. But what we have here is more: it is a record of Celan's thinking. In other words, a treasure."—Rosmarie Waldrop

Indispensable lens into Celan's struggle with poetry
By Timothy Lavenz
Paul Celan delivered his speech, "The Meridian," on October 22, 1960, on the occasion of receiving the Georg-Büchner Prize for Literature. To my knowledge, in addition to this volume, you can find it translated into English in the following places: by Rosemarie Waldrop in Collected Prose: Paul Celan; by Jerry Glenn in Sovereignties in Question: The Poetics of Paul Celan (Perspectives in Continental Philosophy); and by John Felstiner in Selected Poems and Prose of Paul Celan. I mention all these because there are clear differences between the translators, but more importantly because each time one engages with this speech, something new arises, and so it is both beneficial and enjoyable to engage the many different English renderings. That said, for those who wish to peer even deeper into the notes and materials leading up to the final version of the speech, this edition of the "Meridian" speech is simply indispensable.
The speech itself takes up the first 15 pages of this text; the remaining 200+ pages offer a lens into Celan's process of producing this poem (oops!, I mean "speech"). In his wonderful biography, Paul Celan: Poet, Survivor, Jew (Nota Bene), John Felstiner quotes a letter of his, in which he wrote of the time he spent amassing these notes: "It was a dark summer... And the Büchner prize was, up to the last minute, an ordeal, i.e., it was both a temptation and affliction. Really. Now it's been gotten through, I even managed-- at the very last moment-- to write down a (sort of) speech" (p 163). The notes themselves attest to this ordeal in a surprisingly lucid way. Joris and the editors have done a very admirable job of retaining the many markings in the text: deleted words, dotted underscore, words or phrases added, as well as arrows, question marks, diagrammatic markings, and so on. A legend makes these many nuances easily readable. They have also corralled the many fragments into manageable topics including: Darkness, the Poem, Breath, Encounter, Hostility to Art, Time Critique, etc.-- all topics that come up, in one way or another, in the final speech. This makes it possible for both an orderly or an aleatory journey through these materials-- or both at once.
We find in these notes a rich compendium of abrupt thoughts and one-word notations; quotations from Kafka, Shestov, Pascal, Adorno, Scheler, Buber, and countless others; lists of German words with their roots and associations; practical advice referencing us to Ernst Bloch or to "Read Nietzsche!"; sentences included or omitted from the final speech, all of which flash with tumutulous insight; and longer paragraphs that are often crossed-out or drastically modified with markings. Of course, there are veritable moments of poetry here as well: "And everything he blew upon was lost," "On the crest-time of the remembered pause your word finds you," "The things, that want to step into a name, step forward, come before the eyes," or "The League of Worldoutcasts: remains to be found." This is a lens into Celan's "ideas" about the poem, but more than that, it is a lens into the difficulty of such an "idea about the poem." And this struggle shows itself to be bound up with the very struggle to exist. Yet an existence for whom the reality of poetry bespoke itself of necessity.
It isn't necessary to go into the ins-and-outs of these many notes, as they are an exploration and an experience unique to anyone who sets foot in this book. But it is here that we see Celan focusing in on the main themes of the "Meridian" speech, namely, that of attentiveness, of poetry as an endless vigil, and of the poem as a space of an encounter, as the crystallization of language, of language become person and person become language. To read these notes is not only to attend to the mind of a poet, but to the mind of a profound thinker: to someone for whom the question of the truth of the poem was always at stake, whether he was writing this speech, translating other poets, or writing his own poetry. Of course, one must dig into his poetry to really gather his view of poetry; in no way does this speech or these materials exhaust his struggle. But wherever one looks, what strikes and cuts the reader is the honesty Celan lends to language, poetry, and thought. It lends everything a strange, yet human light: an inimitable quality of making-ready and of extending-a-hand, gestures unique to him, but extended and present for all.
I should add that, in addition to the speech and materials, the editors have included a Radio-Essay that Celan wrote titled, "The Poetry of Osip Mandelstam," which is another lens into this major influence of Celan's view of poetry. And so as to not lack in thoroughness, the editors include line by line notes to all the materials included, as well as editorial comments which briefly explain how each of the materials are situated in relation to the final speech. This amazing collection ends with an index of names and a few facsimiles of Celan's typescripts.
To see the workings of this mind in such a fragmented and yet shining way is a real gift to the English reader! I extend my thanks to the editors and the translator. If you are at all interested in the nuances of this poet, who I think is unmatched in the post-WWII era, do yourself a favor and step inside this work.
