Zbigniew Herbert's Report from the Besieged City, as translated by John and Bogdana Carpenter, is a must read.
Hamburger's translation of Celan is my favorite of the readily available, and that book owns.
Agreed, Janaka. Hamburger's translation of Celan is quite fine. What do you think of Felstiner's "Deathfugue"?
Felstiner's version is a lot edgier than Hamburger's (and I think the first one I was exposed to)--in many ways I like the choices it makes. The use of original German in places is especially effective toward the end. Although I find Hamburger's version more elegant, I'd have to say I like that particular translation by Felstiner better.
