This is an automatically translated description

The poems contained in this collection were not published until 1991, twenty years after the author's death, although some of them were published in a small anthology as early as 1968. They come from a manuscript convoluted found in Celan's office at the Higher Normal School and were written between February and May 1966 at the St Anne's University Psychiatric Clinic. Thus, chronologically, they fall within the final phase of work on the collection Fibre Suns, with which they have many thematic parallels. Two leitmotifs dominate here - the motif of the loss of light and the motif of suffering. In terms of their figurative system, they belong to Celan's "atonal" lyrics.
