Holocaust survivor Paul Celan (born 11/20/1930) committed suicide a year before I started studying German at Penn State. I remember reading about him in my Gruppe 47 book in my sophomore year. The curriculum did not include living or recently-deceased writers/poets, sad to say.
Since I became an official poet (it sounds better than it looks), I have come across his work and have resolved to read more of it.
