Engaging the Shoah Through the Poetry of Dan Pagis: Memory and Metaphor

By Shellie Gordon McCullough

By analyzing the Holocaust poetry of Dan Pagis and correlating it to his biography through the identifying tropes of Pagis's literature, this book reveals that the speakers of Pagis' poems embody a resistance to traditional historical, temporal, and structural narratives while also outlining the scarring effects of trauma continually revisited through poetic engagement.
