By all means, Andrew, put in something by Celan officially. I thought about it, but I don't feel competent to explain or discuss him. (Does anybody?)

I feel the same way about Neruda. I keep thinking Canto General should be in a list of best books of the 20th century, but I'd rather have someone who reads Spanish and knows Spanish-language poetry make that call. I know Neruda, like Celan, only a little and mostly in English (though I can pick through Celan's German a little).

Now if I can just decide how I feel about Geoffrey Hill, who does write in English, just an English hardly anyone understands...

Pat
