SHORTLISTED FOR THE DEREK WALCOTT PRIZE FOR POETRYIt is the current Poet Laureate who has done the most to bring medieval poetry to contemporary audiences . . . in its own eccentric way, [The Owl and the Nightingale] is every bit as enticing as Gawain . . . it is arguably the greatest early Middle English poem we have. ProspectA graceful, elegant translation. GuardianFollowing his acclaimed translations of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pearl, Simon Armitage shines light on another jewel of Middle English verse. In his highly engaging version, Armitage communicates the energy and humour of the tale with all the cut and thrust of the original. An unnamed narrator overhears a fiery verbal contest between the two eponymous birds, which moves entertainingly from the eloquent and philosophical to the ribald and ridiculous. The disputed issues still resonate - concerning identity, cultural habits, class distinctions and the right to be heard. Excerpts were featured in the BBC Radio 4 po

Agnes Pelton: Desert Transcendentalist will be the first survey of this under recognized American painter in over 22 years. Her distinctive paintings could be described as metaphysical landscapes rooted in the California desert near Cathedral City. Pelton chiefly drew on her own inspirations, superstitions, and beliefs to exemplify emotional states.The publication seeks to clarify the artist’s significance and role within the cannon of American Modernism but also against the legacy of European abstraction. It contextualizes her work against her contemporaries, Marsden Hartley and Georgia O’Keeffe, and their distinct versions of American spiritual modernism. Pelton’s highly symbolic paintings were inspired by religious sources ranging from Theosophy and Agni Yoga to the spiritual teachings of Dane Rudhyar and Will Levington Comfort.Over three decades she devoted herself to painting spiritual abstractions, which conveyed her “light message to the world.”

美國職棒大聯盟近代三壘手代表人物之一 紐約大都會隊長、世界棒球經典賽隊長 乘風逐浪至優雅退休── 完整親口講述的生涯回憶錄 棒球?一致推薦── 胡金龍（旅美球星） 曾文誠（資深球評） 徐展元（體育主播） 李秉昇（緯來體育台賽事主播） Grey的MLB閒聊 我只想寫寫體育 一個來自維吉尼亞州的小伙子，從小就勵志一定要加入紐約大都會隊打球── 世界棒球經典賽「美國隊長」的稱號由來 2009年，大衛．萊特已成為紐約大都會隊的中心打者，固守三壘城池，給予球迷一種穩重又有領袖魅力的氣息。他入選第二屆美國代表隊，以優異的表現獲得球迷讚賞，並與德瑞克．基特（Derek Jeter）兩人在三游防線成為固若金湯的鐵壁；第三屆美國代表隊也毫無疑問地選入他作為陣中的先發三壘手，並帶領美國隊逆轉，進入四強。從此被球迷稱為「美國隊長」。 具有領袖魅力的三壘手，紐約大都會隊近代最知名的代表球星 在他近十年的巔峰生涯中，其所打出的3/4/5三圍平均數據，絕對是近代最佳三壘手之一。2024年，是他可以進入名人堂票選的第一年，即便他的生涯累積數據短暫，雖無法讓人信服足以叩關名人堂，他卻有12項數據（安打、二壘打等等）都是隊史目前的紀錄保持人（七度入選明星賽、970分打點、390支二壘安打、得到949分、1777支安打、761次保送等多達12項數據），多年來也都是國聯MVP的前十名票選選手之一。 2014年，他正式就任紐約大都會隊長，成為隊史第四任隊長，與德瑞克．基特（Derek Jeter）同為紐約兩支球隊的領袖人物。2015年，他首次帶領紐約大都會隊打入世界大賽，雖與世界大賽冠軍無緣，卻成就了他生涯中最美好的一刻──為自己人生中唯一支持的球隊打世界大賽，並站在家鄉的父母面前揮出世界大賽中的全壘打。 在大城市中成為領袖人物，卻因傷勢所困而慢慢消失於職棒舞台 世界大賽後，他被診斷出脊椎狹窄症，幾乎可以說是運動員的絕症之一。他逐年越來越無法好好地控制自己的身體，就連生活的正常大小事也受到了影響，但這並不阻礙了他繼續職棒生涯的決心，好好地扮演他作為隊長的角色，帶領當時一群小將，繼續輔助他們未來的生涯，其中也包含了後來得到兩次賽揚獎，近代最有宰制力投手的亞各．迪葛隆（Jacob deGrom） 作為球員，肯定會迎接決定退休的那一刻，但作為一名球隊領袖，他卻有更多的責任，絕不能輕易放棄 雖然他依然

從人事管理到決策操作，從文化建立到打造團隊，洋基隊史上在任最久、創造多項紀錄的傳奇總經理布萊恩‧凱許曼，揭開世界最知名棒球隊的管理運作與權力遊戲──當你想到紐約洋基隊，腦海中或許浮現的是金碧輝煌的球場、傳奇球星和數不盡的世界大賽冠軍，但這背後的故事卻不僅僅是比賽和勝利的光輝時刻。《洋基之道》是一本深入探討這支歷史悠久球隊的內幕之作，特別是如何在布萊恩・凱許曼（Brian Cashman）的帶領下，從一支充滿混亂的球隊，轉型為頂尖的冠軍競爭者。安迪・馬提諾（Andy Martino），一位經驗豐富的SNY分析師，憑藉長達兩年的專訪，為我們呈現了與凱許曼及洋基隊高層的深入對話，揭開這些內部決策、權力鬥爭及個人故事的面紗。從德瑞克・基特（Derek Jeter）和艾力克斯・羅德里奎茲（Ale* Rodriguez）之間的敵對，到凱許曼與受人愛戴的總教練喬・托瑞（Joe Torre）之間的衝突，再到數據革命如何改變洋基的球隊運營，本書為讀者提供了前所未見的洞察力。當凱許曼在 1986 年作為實習生踏入布朗克斯時，洋基隊正處於混亂之中：球隊運營缺乏規劃，管理層由衝動與情緒主導，遠離過去那個以嚴謹規範為名的強大王朝。幾十年後，凱許曼成功地從球隊高層中脫穎而出，贏得史坦布瑞納家族的信任，並最終成為球隊歷史上任期最長的總經理。他不僅將洋基帶回巔峰，奪得多次世界大賽冠軍，更創下了持續不敗的勝季紀錄。本書不僅聚焦於洋基的運營歷史，還深入探討球場內外的管理與決策。凱許曼如何在球隊內部管理眾多具有強大個性的人？在球員、教練和高層之間的權力博弈中，他如何維持團隊合作並保持穩定？這些都是本書中關鍵的主題。隨著數據分析的興起，本書也探討了傳統棒球管理模式如何與現代科技交鋒，並進一步改變球隊策略與決策。更具戲劇性的是，書中呈現了球隊內部最具爭議和張力的情節。例如，基特與羅德里奎茲的矛盾，以及凱許曼在面對這些人物性格衝突時的應對策略，這些故事不僅揭示了球員之間的微妙關係，也顯示了在極高壓力下如何進行管理與協商。對於每一位棒球迷，尤其是喜愛了解球隊管理與運營的讀者，這本書提供了一個難得的視角。它不僅是對洋基王朝的回顧，更是對領導力、決策和球隊文化的深刻剖析。《洋基之道》是一本關於如何在運動界建立長久成功的必讀之作，帶給讀者一個全新的認識和理解這支傳奇球隊的方式。
