## Bio

Born Paul Antschel in Romania on 23 November 1920, he survived the Holocaust while his parents did not. After the war he took the pen name Celan - an anagram of Ancel, the Romanian spelling of his surname - and moved to France in 1949, becoming a French citizen in 1955. His poetry, written in German, broke radically with convention: cryptic, linguistically innovative, shaped by what could barely be said. That difficulty made him one of the most important figures in German-language literature of the post-war era. He drowned in the Seine around 20 April 1970.
