书籍简介

这是一本有趣的指南，介绍历史上具影响力和启发性的诗人——从荷马和萨福到莎士比亚和弗兰克·奥哈拉——以及他们如何教会我们更好地理解我们周围的世界。

历史上伟大的诗人是如何让世界焕然一新的？我们能从他们诗歌的魔力、智慧和幽默中学到什么？从古希腊人的天才到文艺复兴时期的爱情诗和形而上学，再到 20 世纪的纽约诗人，这是人类时代伟大作家的指南。

通过简短的传记式肖像，诗人兼作家戴乔治为伟大的诗歌作品提供了有趣的介绍，并为我们提供了如何阅读它们的欢迎指南。他回答了诗人一直在努力解决的问题：我们如何才能真正描述世界？我们如何表达爱、悲伤或友谊？诗歌如何帮助我们理解正义、梦想或愤怒？

本书生动地描绘了历史上全球知名的诗人：从萨福、李白和鲁米，到威廉·莎士比亚和约翰·多恩，再到弗兰克·奥哈拉、巴勃罗·聂鲁达和西尔维娅·普拉斯。乔治还试图重新审视传统上由西方、白人和男性诗人主导的经典，并揭示来自其他重要文化和社区（包括印度和加勒比地区）的重要人物。

An entertaining guide to history's most influential and inspiring poets - from Homer and Sappho to Shakespeare and Frank O'Hara - and how they can teach us to better understand the world around us.

How did the greatest poets in history make the world anew? And what can we learn from the magic, wisdom and humour of their poetry? From the genius of the Ancient Greeks through to the love poetry and metaphysics of the Renaissance, through to the New York poets of the 20th century, this is the ultimate guide to the greatest writers of the human age.

Through short, biographical portraits, poet and writer Dai George provides an entertaining introduction to the great works of poetry, and a welcoming guide to how we can read them. He addresses questions poets have grappled with: How can we truly describe the world? How can we express love, grief or friendship? How can poetry help us to understand justice, dreams or anger?

This book paints vivid pictures of a global selection of renowned poets throughout history: from Sappho, Li Bai and Rumi, to William Shakespeare and John Donne, to Frank O Hara, Pablo Neruda and Sylvia Plath. George also seeks to re-examine the canon, traditionally dominated by Western, white and male poets, and bring to light major figures from other important cultures and communities, includingIndia and the Caribbean.
