Notes from Source: On March 5, Peter Schjeldahl wrote in the New Yorker on the retrospective of American artist Cindy Sherman’s work at the Museum of Modern Art. In his study of Paul Celan’s poetry, a body of work that of course invites historical analysis in its relationship to the Holocaust, as it must, Lacoue-Labarthe observes that “A poem wants to say; indeed it is nothing but pure wanting-to-say But pure wanting-to-say nothing, nothingness, that against which and through which there is presence, what is” (20).
