杜甫一生的虛構自傳一個穿越了多個時代、多場戰火、多種語言的杜甫，帶著他的多重身影重返我們的生活現場。— 西川「世界偉大的隨筆家之一 」——《紐約時報》「一位隱蔽的文學領袖」My favorite essayist is Eliot Weinberger.His remarkable breadth of calm concern is impressive.—Gary Snyder (Pulitzer Prize Winner, 1975)­This is a book concerned with mortality, friendship, and regret.­The psyche looking back at its life. As such, The Life of Tu Fu sometimes feels like a poetic biography of my own life, or maybe yours.—Forrest Gander (Pulitzer Prize Winner, 2019)溫伯格巧妙地運用拼貼手法，從杜甫一千多首浩瀚的詩歌中擷取靈感，將其詩句、意象與情感重新編織成五十八首全新的詩篇。這些詩篇猶如一幅幅流動的畫卷，描繪出杜甫顛沛流離的一生，以及他所經歷的戰亂與瘟疫。儘管時空相隔千年，但在後疫情時代，我們或許更能體會杜甫詩歌中那種深刻的孤獨與蒼涼。這部作品不僅是對杜甫一生的致敬，也是對我們自身、對苦難和對人生短暫易逝的反思。Drawing inspirations from a vast oeuvre of more than a thousand poems, Eliot Weinberger has deftly composed a montage of ­fifty-eight poems derived and adapted from the lines, images, and feelings in Tu Fu’s poetry. These poems weave a tapestry of Tu Fu’s turbulent life and times of war and disaster.In the post-pandemic era, we may appreciat

本書特色• 「太陽底下依然沒有新鮮詩，卻有前仆後繼的青春熱血。」――賀爾〈自序〉• 華文詩，從古代到現代，歷經千年的累積，是否還能產生「新鮮詩」？這是不少詩人的焦慮，也是賀爾的焦慮。他透過生活，不斷地尋找「意義」，將所思所想幻化成文字――將焦慮與期望賦予「現在」。• 賀爾的作品中，不時閃現他對於佛道儒思想與經典的喜愛。他深切知道世間事物皆「不可得」，因此「當房貸終於還清的那一天／我們就可以去流浪了」這樣的生活反諷才能如此淡然，榮辱不驚。• 如艾略特（T. S. Eliot），賀爾肯定了「文學傳統」，但在創作形式上，完全捨棄了「封閉式」的古典體系，更去蕪存菁地將創作專注於「現存性」，以現實生活中的人事物，透過小敘事（small narratives）的轉化，營造一種「賀爾式」的開放式解讀。序詩與黑洞：讀賀爾詩集《左邊》◎ 郭詩玲 第一次為詩集寫序。據說第一句往往行路難，還好現在沒有這個煩惱啦（抄用賀爾欣賞的波蘭詩人辛波絲卡（1923 – 2012）的 〈詩人與世界：一九九六年諾貝爾文學獎得獎辭〉1 的方案）。一、從黑洞說起 2019 年 4 月 10 日，以觀測星系中央超大質量黑洞為目標的計劃機構「事件視界望遠鏡」（Event Horizon Telescope），發布了人類歷史上的第一張黑洞照片。 三天后的 4 月 13 日，新加坡詩人賀爾先生（此「先生」也含「教師」義，他是一位中學華文教師），發來他即將出版的第四本詩稿，正好滿足我「敲碗」許久的期待，以序之名，先睹為快。 黑洞無法直接觀測，只能間接得知其存在、質量、影響等。詩亦如此，難以破解直測，講求心領神會，命懸於「緣」，打動鐵心了就有緣，就是可以剪貼珍藏於心件匣的好詩。 如果沒寫詩，今生該是和賀爾無緣結識的。初遇是在 2017 年 2 月 26 日，本地獨立書店――城市書房舉辦第一屆「購買新加坡文學書運動」（#BuySingLit）之「詩生活：每當靈光閃爍」座談會，我們是其中兩位分享人。記得賀爾在座談會中提及曾在大學時自印詩集分給朋友，多熱血浪漫的青春情懷，我喜歡的香港畫家智海（1977–）在大學時也做過這樣的事（智海在 2016 年新加坡作家節中提到）。 請教賀爾後，這本《左邊》詩集是他的第四本詩集，兼第一本交由出版社出版的詩集；前三本自印詩集是：《叫風》、《herr poetry》、《溫暖紙

The girl who would become George Eliot began her professional writing life with a poem bidding farewell to all books but the Bible. How did a young Christian poet become the great realist novelist whose commitment to religious freethinking made her so iconoclastic that she could not be buried in in Westminster Abbey? Memorialized there today by a stone lain in the Poets' Corner in 1980, George Eliot wrote herself and her fellow Victorians through turbulent decades of moral and historical doubt in religious orthodoxy, alongside the unrelenting need to articulate a compelling modern faith in its place. Unafraid to confront the most difficult existential questions of her time, George Eliot wrote immensely popular novels that wrestled with problems whose hold has barely lessened in the last 150 years: the pervasiveness of human suffering and the injustice of its measures; the tension between fulfilling our ethical obligations to others and pursuing our own well-being; the impetus to act vi
