Sachs’ volumes of poetry, greatly influenced by the experience of the Shoah, have received profound reception throughout the world, In the Habitations of Death, Flight and Metamorphosis, Journey into a Dustless Realm, and Sternverdunklung first and foremost. Her close personal and artistic relationship with Paul Celan deeply influenced both authors’ poetry. But Nelly Sachs’ association with Swedish authors, most of all Selma Lageröf, have contributed to the fact that her work has been translated into more than 40 languages. She maintained a lively exchange with Siegfried Unseld and Hans Magnus Enzensberger, whom she named trustee of her estate back then, as evidenced by the exhaustive correspondences.
Sachs remains topical for as long as people hurt one another and the power of the lyrical word is required to communicate this. Countless poems of hers have been set to music and dramatic poems have been inspired by her around the world and bear witness to the power, spirituality and topicality of Nelly Sachs’ oeuvre.
»Nelly Sachs' poems tell us that there can still be an original kind of empathy outside of our cynical reason and ironic reassurances.« Jan Voker Röhnert, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
