Rate this book
她一生離群索居,卻留給我們一片詩之森林

  ★哈佛大學正式授權
  ★中文世界最佳詮釋本,跨越時間和語言,看見狄金生其詩其人

  逝世百餘年,艾蜜莉.狄金生始終是美國人最鍾愛的詩人之一,詩作廣為流傳。她以詩進行語言和書寫的實驗,主題超越地域與文化的限制,探索愛、自然、人性、生命、死亡、悲傷、喜悅、神、永恆等等,雖不受當代文學評論家認同,仍不懷疑自己、持續寫作。她孤獨卻勇敢地面對表面平淡、實則內在豐富的一生,筆耕不輟、留下了大量作品,至今仍持續帶給世人感動。

  本書收錄六十首雋永詩目,依十項主題分類,包括以知名作曲家跨界眼光選出的「套歌」詩組,呈現狄金生的觀察、提問、思索、批判與各種情感。內容採中英對照方式,以考據嚴謹的解析提供更多線索,幫助讀者理解、欣賞。

  透過寫詩,狄金生將自己置於各種想像的情境,除了探究生命的本質,也對讀者報告她的發現。詩冊因而成為封存魔法之書——當我們過度理智,用單調、閉塞、習以為常甚至帶有成見的眼光來看世界時,給予我們一股改變的力量。

Emily Dickinson

1,555 books6,894 followers
Emily Dickinson was an American poet who, despite the fact that less than a dozen of her nearly eighteen hundred poems were published during her lifetime, is widely considered one of the most original and influential poets of the 19th century.

Dickinson was born to a successful family with strong community ties, she lived a mostly introverted and reclusive life. After she studied at the Amherst Academy for seven years in her youth, she spent a short time at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before returning to her family's house in Amherst. Thought of as an eccentric by the locals, she became known for her penchant for white clothing and her reluctance to greet guests or, later in life, even leave her room. Most of her friendships were therefore carried out by correspondence.

Although Dickinson was a prolific private poet, fewer than a dozen of her nearly eighteen hundred poems were published during her lifetime.The work that was published during her lifetime was usually altered significantly by the publishers to fit the conventional poetic rules of the time. Dickinson's poems are unique for the era in which she wrote; they contain short lines, typically lack titles, and often use slant rhyme as well as unconventional capitalization and punctuation.Many of her poems deal with themes of death and immortality, two recurring topics in letters to her friends.

Although most of her acquaintances were probably aware of Dickinson's writing, it was not until after her death in 1886—when Lavinia, Emily's younger sister, discovered her cache of poems—that the breadth of Dickinson's work became apparent. Her first collection of poetry was published in 1890 by personal acquaintances Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Mabel Loomis Todd, both of whom heavily edited the content.

A complete and mostly unaltered collection of her poetry became available for the first time in 1955 when The Poems of Emily Dickinson was published by scholar Thomas H. Johnson. Despite unfavorable reviews and skepticism of her literary prowess during the late 19th and early 20th century, critics now consider Dickinson to be a major American poet.
