As Pierre Joris is a sometime contributor, i wanted to congratulate him on the publication of his vast and long-worked-on Breathturn into Timestead which I've just ordered. An appreciative review in the NYRB by Adam Kirsch ends saying Celan's 'poetry is more familiar than ever, yet in Joris's hands it remains just as powerfully alien as Celan meant it to be...'
