Paul Celan translated by Nikos Dimou
One of my favorite authors in Greece (Nikos Dimou) posts a variety of fragments as he feels like it on his site in Greek and English. Melancoly seems to be the theme of the week, as he posts a greek translation of a Paul Celan poem. It is a dark poem yet somehow feels sweet on the soul.
An English translation lies below:

About Nikos Dimou: If Noam Chomsky and Gore Vidal have a Greek analog, it is Nikos Dimou. One of his generation's most fertile minds, a legendary advertising man and a prolific writer, Dimou is best known as the author of The Misfortune of Being Greek-the book that earned him the label of an "anti-Hellene."
