Selma Meerbaum-Eisinger was a young poet who died in Michailowska labor
camp in 1942. A cousin of Paul Celan, she wrote 57 poems (including five
translations) that have been translated into English for the first time. My
sister, Helene Silverblatt, and I wrote an introduction, edited, and helped
translate the poetry. Our mother, Hilda Schrager Silverblatt, is Selma's
first cousin. Below are two links to interviews that describe Selma's
poetry, life, and the process of creating this volume, Harvest of Blossoms:
