How well assimilated are the Celan stylistic memes in As In Every Deafness? (Graham Foust)
"Find the un-
inevitable remainder
as the city's sleepers clamor for
a bird's worth of air."
or
"in manikin skin
after contrary Autumn."
The style is applied to a different "subject matter." Often it is the title that gives the referent, the key to understanding the poem. For example, "Blackout Drinking" or "Kurt Cobain." I like the book quite a bit, despite my open question about the fairly obvious stylistic debt to the German-language poet.
But I've noticed I see stylistic derivativeness where others don't see it. Maybe I'm wrong in this case too.
