Jack Ross: Celanie (2012)


Blurb:
The word

goes deep
we read it
the yearswords since
Still that

You knowthat space is infinite
you knowyou don't have to fly
you knowwhat's written in your eye
goes deep enough for me

When artist Emma Smith and poet Jack Ross came up with the idea for this book: an amalgam of images and poems, “translated” from their understanding of the work of German poet Paul Celan (1920-1970), it was the word Celanie, the description Celan himself used for the little set of Parisian streets and suburbs which constituted the heart of his world-in-exile, that inspired them.

Ross’s choice of texts has its origins in the correspondence between Celan and his wife, French artist Gisèle Celan-Lestrange, and – specifically – in the poems, often enriched with glossaries and occasionally even complete dual-text versions, which he so frequently included in his letters to her.

The decisions that lie behind the choice of subject-matter for Emma Smith’s pictures are expounded further in Bronwyn Lloyd’s Afterword, “A Figure of Polished Desolation,” especially written for this volume.

I have the impression
coming towards you
of leaving a world
behind
hearing doors slam
door after door
doors of misunderstanding
    false clarity
mischance

Perhaps there are far more doors
to come
perhaps I haven’t yet crossed
this field of signs
    that baffle me
but I am coming
can’t you hear me?

The beat picks up
the lights go out
    one after another
the lying mouths
choke on their bile
no more words
        no sound
but the pad of my feet

I’ll be there soon
be there with you
in the moment
that begins
all time

of a stone and a cross
in the water
and over the cross a word
circling the stone

I saw my poplar tree go down into the water
I saw how its branches gripped the bank
I saw how its roots reached up to beg for night

I did not go in after them
I collected these crumbs
    like bloody eyes
I fastened these words around your neck
and set the table where the crumbs now lie

I did not see my tree again

Gorselight, yellow, slopes
against the sky			Thorn
disinfects your wounds		Ring
out, it’s evening		Nothing
crosses the sea to pray
The bloodred sheet sets sail for you

Arid, dried-out, bed
behind you		Scar-
invaded			Star-
embossed	milky inlets
in the vase		Date
stones underneath, furred blue
tufts of forgetfulness
your memory


(Do you know me
hands? I went
by the forked route you showed
me, my mouth spat pebbles, I walked
through snowdrifts, shadow – do you know me?)


Hands, the thorn-
burnt wound rings out
Hands, nothing, the sea
Hands, in the gorse-light 
the bloody sheet
sets sail for you

You

(for René Char)

sung in 1961 by Paul Celan


“If your heels are nimble and light
You can get there by candlelight”


Once when beggars grew on trees
that was a reason
to look up

the wind has torn my beard
away my yellow star
my bushy beard

crooked was the way 
I went crooked
because I walked
so straight

O and
they said my nose was crooked
too

but we were off to Babylon
how many miles how many
miles to the gallows tree?
the almond tree the tree of alms

almshouse armband
the juniper the tree of bones
the Mandelstam the Mandelbaum

sleep tight tonight
by candlelight

stones go up in the air
clear, white, light-
shards

They don’t want 
to fall back, touch,
hit
    They go up
blossoming
like wild flowers
then, closing, fall
on you
my light
my truth

I look at you
you take them from my hands
you put them back into
the light, which no-one needs
to own or name

out of the world

discreet and open

you welcomed us

Who

Wake up
       Start again

Two souls
can quell
a burning sun 
by standing in its way

Your lap
opened and a sigh
rose in the ether
and, through the haze, wasn’t that
something like a face?
wasn’t that something like
    a name
for us?

who stole most
called him the thief
those who aped him
called him the plagiarist

Those who owed him their spark
found him too passive
those whom he’d touched (and not just with words)
called him the undead

Publicity hounds
testified to their own modesty
and his hubris

Traitor assassins
called him a criminal
those who’d betrayed him
called him distrustful
those who’d insulted him
called him "too sensitive"

When he made an appeal
to solidarity
people commiserated
clapped him on the back
Those who’d orchestrated the campaign
upheld him
“as a hanged man his rope”

Those whom he’d helped climb
helped him to descend

He was cut up
and parcelled round
There were not a few friends
among the beneficiaries

One
wanted to go into bat for him –
he straddled the steps
of a certain Academy
the very same one
which gave out prizes
to those who had slandered and betrayed him
(Many others had attained
such yawning heights.)

Veterans of the Hitler Youth
helped strip him of his history
and pin it on one
who had never experienced it
and who, complacently,
acquiesced in the plans
of these old enemies.
Under their auspices she became’
the paragon of Jewishness.
They christened her Queen – whence
the red in her purple?
It’s possible, she proclaimed
That the destiny of my people
shines out from me.
Possible, yes.
                But does it?
As for the light
that shone from her already
they put it out.

Who and what
drove Nelly Sachs to madness?
Who
pushed her
to such megalomaniac delusions?

In Stockholm, I heard her say
The people in Auschwitz
Didn’t suffer what I do.
Others heard that, too
(Lenke Rohmann among them).
Who was guilty of that?
                        What shame
must hang around that head?

Lightless it rolls, colour-

Who doesn’t know,

gave up the ghost to bruise you?

Let it run upstream in time
With ten halfmoons in tow
