54. Philip Schultz

Poet’s Choice By Edward Hirsch, Sunday, April 18, 2004; Page BW12, Washington Post*)
Edward Hirsch stellt Gedichte von Philip Schultz vor. Auszug einem Gedicht, das über zwei Opfer des deutschen Holocaust spricht – darunter eine bedeutende deutsche Dichterin:

Mr. Schwartzman survived the Nazis but not Cuba Place, where
he takes long Saturday walks with his five dead children
who ride a carousel round the inside of his cracked eyeballs,
each a continent, a resume filed at Auschwitz, where Gertrud Kolmar,
his older sister’s best friend, also was murdered, her poems
scratched in blood, flying over the Urals, singing, „Out of darkness
I come, a woman, I carry a child, and have forgotten whose it is.“
