SUMMARY:Ecology\, Memory\, Poetry: Reading Paul Celan in the Anthropocene
DESCRIPTION:The Lab for Environmental Narrative Strategies (LENS) and the Working Group in Memory Studies present: Ecology\, Memory\, Poetry: Reading Paul Celan in the Anthropocene \nPaul Celan\, one of the most important poets of post-World War II literature\, is famous for his lyrical engagements with memory and the Holocaust.
