"Correspondence," the compilation of letters between two poets, Paul Celan, the pseudonym for Paul Antschel, and the Nobel Laureate, Nelly Sachs, is an intimate behind the curtains look at two creative literary minds who struggled to find their place in post World War II society. The reader gets a glimpse at Sachs' poetic skill as the letters are lovingly peppered with poems that Sachs composed for Celan. "Correspondence" is interesting in its construction. There is an Introduction penned by John Felstiner, 68 pages of translated correspondence, an Editorial Afterword, Editor's Notes to the Letters, Annotated index of Names, and a side-by-side Chronology of Celan and Sachs for the time period of the letters. This is a thorough offering. Born in Berlin, Cermany in 1891, Sachs experienced the horrors of Nazi persecution at the beginning of World War II including members of her family falling victim to the Holocaust.
