Мовні ґрати / Sprachgitter (bilingual)

It contains poems that appeared from the beginning of 1955 to the end of 1958 and mark a radical change in Celan’s poetics: a transition to the so-called “grayer” language. The 33 poems in the collection have absorbed important biographical, political and aesthetic events and phenomena and outline a reality that needs to be “found and conquered”. In a poetic sense, they are distinguished by their clearly expressed innovative character. Like the two previous books “Poppies and Memory” and “From Threshold to Threshold”, published in Ukrainian and German, “Language Lattices” continues the series “The Meridian of the Heart.
