书籍介绍
这不是一本教你'如何欣赏美'的诗歌读本。Brooks 把诗歌当作一种思维方式来审视:它不指向外在行动,而是让读者转向内在的自我,去审视自己面对世界时的态度与情感。书中最锋利处,在于它拒绝把诗简化为信息或道理——'bear'一词不只是指某种动物,更凝聚了恐惧、敬畏与庄严。这种'新批评'式的读法,要求读者放弃'这首诗讲了什么'的惯性提问,转而追问语言如何在矛盾与张力中撑起经验的重量。读者反馈里反复出现的'读不懂却仍爱着',恰恰印证了它的难度与魅力:它不提供速成的品味,而是训练你重新感知韵律、语气与情感的肌理。适合英语专业高年级及研究生,也适合愿意被'慢读'折磨的读者。

精彩摘录
  • "...[pieces of non-practical conversation] do not point outward to action in the world, to the control of experience...instead, they point inward to the self as it confronts the world - as it makes an assessment of the world. That is, we have feelings and attitudes concerning the world of action, jus"
  • "Man creates forms in order to grasp the world."
  • "The word for "bear" not only pointed in a disinterested fashion to a certain kind of creature,but also embodied "bearness"--the terror,awe,power,majesty,and other qualities associated with that creature."
  • "Slang is simply the bestard brother of poetry."
  • "poetry is concerned with the massiveness,the multidimensional quality, of experience."
  • "Literature is the most complicated language that man has invented for talking not only to others but to himself; or other, it is the language he has invented so that he may be himself."

补记
胡乱吞了一遍 音律那一章学到了。等再多点积累和时间,第二遍就能多角度写诗评了吧。
宝典!爱了。即使讀不很懂,也愛了。
