Sommario/riassunto

Poetic Affairs deals with the complex and fascinating interface between literature and life through the prism of the lives and works of the German-Jewish poet and Holocaust survivor, Paul Celan (1920-70), the Leningrad native, US poet laureate, and Nobel Prize winner, Joseph Brodsky (1940-96), and the most significant contemporary German poet, Durs Grünbein (born 1962).
