Reference: Paul Celan is a German-speaking poet of Jewish origin from Chernivtsi, one of the central representatives of European post-war lyrics. His poetics was formed under the influence of modernism and the experience of the Holocaust, which led to a new model of speech in German poetry of the second half of the 20th century. Celan's texts, in particular "Death Fugue" and the collection "Poppies and Memory", are considered key to the development of catastrophic aesthetics and the poetics of silence. In modern literary criticism, Celan has the status of a canonical figure, and his origin from Chernivtsi is an important element of the city's cultural history.
