Examines poetic language in the work of Heidegger, Hlderlin, and Blanchot.What is the nature of poetic language when its experience involves an encounter with finitude; with failure, loss, and absence? For Martin Heidegger this experience is central to any thinking that would seek to articulate the meaning of being, but for Friedrich Hlderlin and Maurice Blanchot it is a mark of the tragic and unanswerable demands of poetic language. In Ellipsis, a rigorous, original study on the language of poetry, the language of philosophy, and the limits of the word, William S. Allen offers the first indepth examination of the development of Heideggers thinking of poetic languagewhich remains his most radical and yet most misunderstood workthat carefully balances it with the impossible demands of this experience of finitude, an experience of which Hlderlin and Blanchot have provided the most searching examinations. In bringing language up against its limits, Allen shows that poetic language not only exposes thinking to its abyssal grounds, but also indicates how the limits of our existence come themselves, traumatically, impossibly, to speak.This is a very serious work of thought that makes a valuable contribution to current discussions about language in the writings of Heidegger and Hlderlin. There are passages that are memorable not only for their insightfulness, but also because in an extremely condensed formulation, a genuinely original intuition is articulated with clarity and precision. It is a virtuoso performance. David Michael KleinbergLevin, author of Gestures of Ethical Life: Reading Hlderlins Question of Measure After Heidegger
