This collection of correspondence between Bachmann and Celan enables new scholarly engagement with both authors. It elucidates the complex connections between their personal histories and poetry, shedding light on the ways they found literary expression for their experiences with totalitarianism. In addition, the letters are poetic texts in their own right, to be read in the context of the poets' works as a whole.
