    "How can genocide be witnessed through imaginative literature? How can the Holocaust affect readers who were not there? Reading the work of major figures such as Elie Wiesel, Paul Celan, Avrom Sutzkever, Ida Fink, Wladyslaw Szlengel, Itzhak Katzenelson, and Czeslaw Milosz, Poesis in Extremis poses fundamental questions about how prose and poetry are written under extreme conditions, either in real time or immediately after the Holocaust. Framed by discussion of truth in fiction and fiction as truth, with Wiesel’s French literary memoir Night as an entry point, this innovative book explores the blurred boundary of fact and fiction in Holocaust literature in order to ask to what extent poetry and fiction can serve as testimony and what might be the criteria for literary witnessing. Wartime writing in particular tests the limits of "poesis in extremis" when poets faced their own annihilation and wrote in the hope that their words, like a message in a bottle, would somehow reach readers."
