Death Fugue by Paul Celan

Anne Carson said in "Economy of the Unlost" that Celan disavowed this early poem later in life, but I think it is great.  I can see why he "disavowed" it when you look at his later poems; there seemed to be a shift in poetics, but it still resonates as an incredible piece of art.
