AT THE SKY'S EDGE

內容簡介

內容簡介 At the Sky's Edge combines in a single bilingual paperback volume two essential works by one of the world's finest contemporary poets. In his first retrospective volume of poetry in English, two of Bei Dao's previous booksForms of Distance (1994) and Landscape Over Zero (1996)are gathered together in one bilingual paperback edition. At The Sky's Edge: Poems 1991-1996 marks a pivotal point in the poet's oeuvre, presenting the increasingly lyrical, meditative poems written in the years following his banishment from China in 1989. Translated into twenty-five languages, Bei Dao's work has long been appreciated internationally, but is just recently gaining a larger audience in the US. At The Sky's Edge becomes Bei Dao's seventh book published by New Directions and is the first time Forms of Distance appears in a paperback edition. The translations of David Hinton, who was awarded the prestigious Harold Morton Landon Translation Award from The Academy of American Poets in 1997, capture both the musicality and density of the original Chinese. Quiet, spare, these are poems of paradox and possibility, of words carefully balanced, of a world on edge.

各界推薦 該書是大陸流亡作家北島的作品選集，屢獲諾貝爾文學獎提名的北島，雖然是一位流亡於海外的詩人作家，不過他的作品卻成為兩岸知識份子的最愛收藏，他的詩又打破國與國的界線、人與人之間的界限，深深觸動世界愛詩的心靈。 《At the Sky's Edge: Poems 1991-1996》是北島在New Directions出版的第七本作品，不過卻是第一本平裝本方式出版，該書輯了北島的兩本詩作《Forms of Distance (1994) 》與《 Landscape Over Zero (1996)》內的精彩詩作，這些詩作雖然平淡，卻可以感受詩作中深刻的視野，不僅深入的描寫人性中最細微的情感，更具有高度的時代藝術感。
