This illustrated counterpoint unfolds as a sustained theological argument conducted through poetry across Paul Celan's final three volumes (Lichtzwang, Schneepart, Zeitgehöft). Poet Sergio Torres-Martínez constructs a systematic refutation of the Kabbalistic mysticism that pervades Celan's late work-not to diminish Celan's achievement or his witness to the Holocaust, but to assert an independent voice shaped by encounter. This is neither translation nor imitation, but a dialogue across irreducible difference: a personal theodicy insisting that human beings shine brighter than any fetishized stone.
