书籍简介

《咖啡馆》是发人深省的反史诗，它以讽刺的笔触探寻乌托邦。

欢迎来到咖啡馆！这里是吃饭、忘却工作的地方，是与朋友相聚、忘却爱情的地方，是邂逅爱人、却紧张得吃不下饭的地方。在霍莉·佩斯特独特的抒情诗中，咖啡馆化身为一个充满幻想与语言的场所，探索着生活在压力边缘的种种状态。它成为一种形式——一节诗——揭示着这个空间在自由与思想方面所蕴含的承诺，以及它所束缚的。每一次，咖啡馆都因来来往往的人们而重塑自身。一位上班族试图经营一家连锁咖啡馆。一位恋人坐在角落里，静静等待。一位女子在思索年龄和无子之苦的同时，缅怀一段逝去的友谊。一位艺术家尝试创办一家艺术咖啡馆，并举办了一场麦活动。霍莉·佩斯特的近期诗集既是一部风格独特的政治作品，又是献给公共空间的挽歌，再次证明了她是我们这个时代令人兴奋的诗人之一。

An illuminating anti-epic poem, Cafés is a satirical search for utopias.

Welcome to Cafés! Somewhere to eat and forget about work, where we can meet friends and not think about love, where we can meet lovers and be too nervous to eat. In Holly Pester’s unique lyric, the café becomes a structure of fantasy and language exploring life at the pressurized edges. It becomes a form – a canto or a verse – unearthing what this space promises us in terms of freedom and thought, and what it holds back. In each iteration, the café remakes itself through the people who pass through it. A worker tries to run a café franchise. A lover sits in the corner, waiting. A woman mourns a friendship while contemplating age and childlessness. An artist tries to launch an art café and hosts an open mic. Both a stylish political intervention and an elegy for communal space, Holly Pester's newest collection reaffirms her as one of the most exciting poets of our time.
