Synopsis

Walter Benjamin once said that no poem is intended for the reader. Does this hold for Paul Celan, who said that the poem stands in the mystery of the encounter? The Time of the Other attempts to probe that mystery through textual analysis on the one hand, and a reader's introspection on the other.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Esther Cameron, poet, literary scholar, editor and translator, was born in New York in 1941 and grew up in Madison, Wisconsin. Her father was a geologist, her mother had studied geology, and from this background she brought to the poetic vocation a long view and a kind of scientific curiosity about the nature of poetry. She holds degrees in linguistics, German, and law. Much of her writing was prompted by the encounter with Paul Celan, a concluding voice in the Western poetic tradition and a survivor of the Shoah, whose path she retraced in Western Art and Jewish Presence in the work of Paul Celan: Roots and Ramifications of the “Meridian” Speech (Lexington Books, 2014). Her works include poems (among them an epic, The Consciousness of Earth), memoir, literary criticism and essays on poetics and society. In 1996 she founded the poetry magazine The Neovictorian/Cochlea, which in 2006 became The Deronda Review. She lives in Maale Adumim, Israel.
