我是靈感的僕人不為風格寫作只願留下我凝視這世界的姿態北島谷川俊太郎（Tanikawa Shuntaro）阿部公彥（Abe Masahiko）蓋瑞‧施奈德（Gary Snyder）——推薦日本國民詩人谷川俊太郎在華文世界最專精的傳譯者、旅日中國詩人田原，跨時代的傑作精選。本書為作者自1981年迄今未發表的創作結集；以十年為一跨度將全書分為四輯，收錄超過一百五十首詩作，完整呈現四十年創作歷程的步履軌跡。作者透過詩的創作，表達對生命、對世界的熱切關懷和觀察。無論是成長的經歷、生活所在的地方，乃至於重大當代事件，或是具抽象意義的歷史事實；在在都驅使著詩人藉由文字回應靈感帶來的刺激。隨著詩人寫作經驗的積累和人生閱歷的加深，這些類型多元、風格多變的詩作逐漸積累成為一道語言長城。豐碩的創作成果，同時標幟著一座亟待作者自我超越的里程碑，因而有跨語創作的嘗試，並透過自譯的翻轉，突顯出詩人勇於嘗試抵達詩歌本質的堅持與努力。想像力的開闊和神祕，以及語言的美感和力度，究竟哪些因素與雙語詩人保持著更緊密的關聯呢？——（日）谷川俊太郎（Tanikawa Shuntaro）田原的詩歌寫作越過母語，試圖抵達語言的邊界。——（中）北島田原的這些詩篇扎根於現象世界——並非純屬自然，更絕非工業；既非東亞，亦非西歐——它們邁著獨特的舞步，穿過層層空間。敏感卻不傷感，略帶疑慮，它們編織出一種並非完全人性、更近事物本體的嚴肅感。對於我們，這些詩是一種嶄新的挑戰，督促我們拋棄固化的觀念和陋習，繼續向前。——（美）蓋瑞‧施奈德（Gary Snyder）田原是呼喚世界的詩人。推動世界，用另一種措辭詮釋世界，比喻的力量強烈無比。田原對自己的語言感到驚恐和痛心，可是，他從此獲取滋養，最終抵達歡喜。對於他，語言是他者，產生於自己。他不支配語言，也不擁有，更不拘泥於它。重要的：讓語言的流出成為可能是他的生命結構。詩歌對於田原是祭祀的聖地。——（日）阿部公彥（Abe Masahiko、東京大學教授）本書特色日本國民詩人谷川俊太郎在華文世界最專精的傳譯者、旅日中國詩人田原，跨時代的傑作精選。北島、谷川俊太郎（Tanikawa Shuntaro）、阿部公彥（Abe Masahiko）、蓋瑞‧施奈德（Gary Snyder）——推薦

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

Most people think about the sanctuary of Delphi as the seat of the famous oracle and of Olympia as the site of the Olympic games. The oracle and the games, however, were but two of the many activities ongoing at both sites. This book investigates the physical remains of both sanctuaries to show how different visitors interacted with the sacred spaces of Delphi and Olympia in an important variety of ways during the archaic and classical periods. It highlights how this fluid usage impacted upon, and was itself affected by, the development of the sanctuary space and how such usage influenced the place and relationship of these two sites in the wider landscape. As a result, it argues for the re-evaluation of the roles of Delphi and Olympia in the Greek world and for a re-thinking of the usefulness of the term 'panhellenism' in Greek politics, religion and culture.

This book is a study of the origins and development of cult practice at Olympia and Delphi. It traces changing patterns of activity through the material record, and challenges many assumptions about the nature and role of the archaeological data. Dr Morgan considers the economics of dedication, technology and the organization of craft production, which provide insights into the behaviour of producers and purchasers of material dedicated at sanctuaries. Her study is exceptional for the emphasis placed upon the two sites in their contemporary local contexts and their changing roles in society. The progression of state formation is discussed through the relationship between changes in dedicatory practice during the eighth century and the changing needs of communities. The book concludes with a detailed study of the wider roles of Olympia and Delphi as two major sanctuaries in Archaic Greece, considering their relationships with other sites and their place in the Greek festival calendar.
