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 you teach your teach your hands you teach your hands, you teach you teach your hands to sleep [13/8/57]

The times are against us
we who dare to act alive
the antihuman
shadows us
dead – living / living – dead
no sky above

uncomforting
no consolation

our thoughts are teeth
one word alone

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

drove me out
out of the world
but you were there
discreet and open
and
you welcomed us
Who
says that it all dies
when we close our eyes?
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?
[24/10/63]
For you, my love, / this poem, / which, in its own way, / still helps us / to resist
Paul
Paris, 26.4.1965

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?

gulp through them
gapped with silences
small spheres of pith
from the lookniche
it descends
unstaunched
by handkerchiefs
pearl

heavy –
conquering the salt-bush
the double sea
Lightless it rolls, colour-
less – transfixed by your
ivory needles
Who doesn’t know,
that the tiger stone that stung
gave up the ghost to bruise you?
and so
where did it fall?
Let it run upstream in time
With ten halfmoons in tow
into the snakepit on

Dear Paul,
those tulips, their red, their life, this morning, at 6
a.m., after so few hours of sleep. they were still with me.
Your poem keeps me company too.

Thank you, thank you again.
Have a wonderful time in Germany.
– Gisèle Celan-Lestrange's last letter to Paul Celan
(Paris, 20 March 1970)
