Reading Paul Celan's poetry and poetics  this volume collects the contributions of an
international conference at Rice University in Houston  TX on the occasion of Celan's 100th
birthday and the 50th anniversary of his death in 2020. A new and comprehensive edition of
Celan's correspondence allows for new insights into the biographical and historical backgrounds
of his poems  which can now be read and interpreted in precisely definable contexts
(Wiedemann). The authors in this volume also examine Paul Celan's and Ingeborg Bachmann's
poetic dialogue as a quest for 'poetry as truth' (Renker)  or emphasize the dialogical moment
in Celan's prose Gespräch im Gebirg as a characteristic of the genre (Weissenberger). Selected
poems from his volumes Niemandsrose and Atemwende are being examined in regard of his aim for
commemoration and witnessing (Koelle) while in another approach the impact of his response to
the Holocaust upon his changing poetic is being sounded out (Colin). Deep reading of the
musical composition of Celan's poetry (Miglio)  or a meticulous tracing of the transforming of
the vocabulary of a newspaper article into a poem (Ryan) add new insights into Celan's poetic
practices on the basis of texts that have hardly been studied so far. New experiences such as
the Corona pandemia or an exophonic approach generate contexts on their own which shape a
different public perception of Celan's poetry today (Ivanovic). Finally  new readings of
Celan's translations (Collonny and Kavett) as well as Pierre Joris's impressive retrospective
of his own decades-long engagement with translating Celan's poetry round off this volume.
