RE: [Cz-L] Paul Celan - First Publication (AGORA)

Dear Edgar,

This is an excellent acquisition !

It is exciting to have this unique document on your book-shelf.

Thanks for adding the poems to your on-line exhibition.

I was very pleased when I received, 2 years ago, a few scanned pages from inside Agora,1947 .

Thank you and Bianca for this interesting discussion.

Regards

Irene

Dear Bianca et al...

Inspired by our correspondence on the first publication of the "Todesfuge"
and directed by Irene, I'm a bit proud of having succeeded to aquire the
original volume (no. 772/1026) of AGORA, the Romanian periodical, which
published first of all Paul Celan's poems. I've updated my online exhibition
"Black Milk, Schwarze Milch... "

http://czernowitzart.blogspot.de/

by introducing a new page displaying all three poems published by AGORA in
May 1947, as far as we know, Paul Celan's very first publication.:

AGORA was a very curageous and fascinating multicultural (Romanian, Italian,
German, French, Russian) literary experiment in post-WW2 Romania. An
"International Collection of Art and Literature", edited by Ion Caraion and
Virgil Ierunca under the auspices of the King Michael I Foundation. A few
months later, on December 30, 1947 King Michael I was forced at gunpoint to
abdicate and on January 3, 1948 he left the country; so the first edition of
AGORA remained the only one as well. BTW, Alfred Sperber, another
Bukovinian, is among the authors and translators.

You will notice, dear Bianca, that I added a link to your book "Pathways to
Paul Celan - A History of Critical Responses as a Chorus of Discordant
Voices" to the side bar of the above mentioned online exhibition. We are
proud of having you, as a renowned Celan expert, in our midst.

Let me close this mail by quoting the - English! - epigraph of AGORA: "A
thing of beauty is a joy for ever (KEATS)"
