Abstract
The poet Paul Celan lived from 1920 to 1970. In this respect he is post modern: someone who inherits the problems and values of those people who lived between the 1890's and the 1930's. He is also a post-war poet: he wrote most of his poems after the war, with a steady, incredulous eye upon Europe's abrupt return to normalcy, and today Celan is regarded as the great Ger man-language poet of the second half of this century, extending a speculative tradition in German poetry that runs from H?lderlin in the eighteenth century through Trakl and Rilke in the twentieth.
