书籍简介

★  这本诗集出自《Topeka School》的知名作家之手，睿智动人，直指我们这个复杂的时代。

《灯光》由诗歌和散文、语音备忘录和小故事、歌曲和沉默组成，将个人和集体紧密联系在一起。这些诗歌既有塑造人类社会的力量，也有自然世界的节奏，既有新技术的力量，也有我们永恒星球的奇迹。这些诗歌的规模时而亲切宁静，时而波澜壮阔，是 "情感集体化 "的奥菲克实验： "我希望每个人都能一起歌唱，即使是石头。

《灯光》历时十五年创作，记录了在危机交错、不断加速的背景下创造艺术、家庭和意义的乐趣、风险和荒谬。即使对黑暗保持警惕，书中的光芒依然存在，在黄昏中，在太空影像中，在旧诗中，在断电中，在人与人之间闪烁的联系中。作为同时代知名的作家之一，这本诗集中的诗歌就像灯塔一样，照亮了我们思想和情感的新可能性。

From the celebrated author of The Topeka School, a collection of poetry that is dazzlingly intelligent, moving and speaks directly to our complex times.

The Lights is a constellation of verse and prose, voice memos and vignettes, songs and silences, that brings the personal and the collective into startling relation. These are poems at once alive to the forces that shape human society and to the rhythms of the natural world, to the power of new technologies and the wonder of our timeless planet. Sometimes the scale is intimate and quiet and sometimes the poems are sweeping, Orphic experiments in the "collectivization of feeling": "I want everybody out there to sing along, even the stones."

Written over a span of fifteen years, The Lights records the pleasures, risks, and absurdities of making art and family and meaning against a backdrop of interlocking, accelerating crises. And, even while alert to the darkness, it is the light in the book that remains, in dusk, in images from space, in old poems, in power cuts, in the flickering connections between people. From one of the most celebrated writers of his generation, the poems in this collection come to us as beacons, illuminating new possibilities of thought and feeling.
