“他”（艾伦·瑞克曼 Alan Rickman 饰）是伦敦一名默默无闻的图书编辑，经历了写作生涯的惨痛失败后，只能在工作之余写写诗，一边唾弃着他平淡无奇的工作，一边为曾经的失败爱情心怀遗憾，渐入颓唐中年。 “她”（艾玛·汤普森 Emma Thompson 饰）是“他”的 旧情人，离开他之后嫁给了一位极负盛名的作家，在巴黎过着光鲜滋润的生活。 分开15年后，两人再度相约在以前常去的餐厅共进午餐。满怀期待赴宴的“他”却发现，餐厅已面目全改，曾经熟悉的一切无迹可寻。“她”依然亮丽，却少了他记忆中的样子，食物依旧，话题却不尽人意。这一切只是他沉溺诗歌的幻想，还是他真的已经随着那老去的一切被遗弃了？ 本片改编自克里斯托弗·里德（Christopher Reid）的同名叙事诗，诗人携该诗于2010年获柯斯达文学奖（Costa Book Awards）“年度代表作”奖。

Jeremy Paxman tells the tragic story of World War One poet Wilfred Owen. At a time of jingoism and wartime propaganda, one Shropshire lad was compelled to tell the truth. Jeremy Paxman travels to the battlefields of France to discover how the ugliest and most terrible arena imaginable gave birth to some of the most poignant and powerful poetry in the English language.

诗歌，凝练而细腻，富于想象而讲究韵律，无论是温婉抑或豪情，精致抑或粗犷，含蓄抑或奔放，她总在不知不觉中触动我们内心深处那最薄弱的一环，令我们乐而忘返。用心去品读，或许就在那一刹那，我们恍然领会，领会我们一直未曾领会的真谛，体味到诗意般的人生。本书收录了中国当代诗人北岛的众多诗歌，一共有七辑。 如果说冰心的诗歌隽永清新，如一杯清茶，那么清醒的思辨与直觉思维产生的隐喻、象征意象相结合，则是北岛诗显著的艺术特征，具有高度概括力的悖论式警句，造成了北岛诗独有的振聋发聩的艺术力量。就像由一个字“网”谱写成的标题为“生活”的诗歌，没有人可以否定这位伟大诗人的伟大智慧……

《我的孤独是一座花园》是阿多尼斯作品的首个中译版，收录了诗人从上世纪50年代“最初的诗”到2008年的最新作品，时间跨越半个世纪。

叶芝诗选，ISBN：9787538721799，作者：叶芝

The Collected Poems of W. B. Yeats includes all of the poems authorized by Yeats for inclusion in his standard canon. Breathtaking in range, it encompasses the entire arc of his career, from luminous reworkings of ancient Irish myths and legends to passionate meditations on the demands and rewards of youth and old age, from exquisite, occasionally whimsical songs of love, nature, and art to somber and angry poems of life in a nation torn by war and uprising. In observing the development of rich and recurring images and themes over the course of his body of work, we can trace the quest of this century's greatest poet to unite intellect and artistry in a single magnificent vision. Revised and corrected, this edition includes Yeats's own notes on his poetry, complemented by explanatory notes from esteemed Yeats scholar Richard J. Finneran. The Collected Poems of W. B. Yeats is the most comprehensive edition of one of the world's most beloved poets available in paperback.

'I think I shall be among the English Poets after my death,' John Keats soberly prophesied in 1818 as he started writing the blankverse epic Hyperion. Today he endures as the archetypal Romantic genius who explored the limits of the imagination and celebrated the pleasures of the senses but suffered a tragic early death. Edmund Wilson counted him as 'one of the half dozen greatest English writers,' and T. S. Eliot has paid tribute to the Shakespearean quality of Keats's greatness. Indeed, his work has survived better than that of any of his contemporaries the devaluation of Romantic poetry that began early in this century. This Modern Library edition contains all of Keats's magnificent verse: 'Lamia,' 'Isabella,' and 'The Eve of St. Agnes'; his sonnets and odes; the allegorical romance Endymion; and the five-act poetic tragedy Otho the Great. Presented as well are the famous posthumous and fugitive poems, including the fragmentary 'The Eve of Saint Mark' and the great 'La Belle Dame sans Merci,' perhaps the most distinguished literary ballad in the language. 'No one else in English poetry, save Shakespeare, has in expression quite the fascinating felicity of Keats, his perception of loveliness,' said Matthew Arnold. 'In the faculty of naturalistic interpretation, in what we call natural magic, he ranks with Shakespeare.'

读过去的诗，也是在说当下的事。诗中虽处处有鸟兽草木，但它们从来都是人世的投影。鸢飞鱼跃，是人的境界；黍稷方华，是人的情感。兴观群怨，事父事君，都是和人息息相关的事情，处处都基于对过去的理解和认识。因而，这本书正是通过努力触碰和谈论一些最优秀的古典诗人，来丰富和安定自己当下的生命。 ----------------------------- 先是挑着看，然后又通读一遍，真是很喜欢。且时或想起十几年前草写《诗经别裁》时的情景，觉得心态竟是十分相似，然而却是很久没有这样去读诗了，羡慕，更是钦慕“既见君子”的与古人相会，除了体贴也还有贴心的想象。虽然是个人化的，但是我却忍不住悄悄相随成为约会的窥视者，收获了一腔欢喜。 ——扬之水（中国社会科学院文学所研究员） 作者写过去时代的诗与人，也是叙说当下。诗歌不仅让人“多识于鸟兽草木之名”，更印证着我们生命中的缺失。将自己读诗体验付诸这样一种本真的叙事，是令人称羡的创作，这其中有一点天真，一股灵气，还有深沉而细腻的襟怀与情感。 ——李庆西（《书城》杂志执行编委） 在这些文字尚未被收束起来印成一册书时，我曾一篇篇搜集它们，打印了带在上班路上看。你看到你心里最深的困苦无告，作者都帮你说了出来；你看到一代代伟大深邃的心灵，是怎样在人世跌宕；你知道了这些都是必须要走的路，你会通过这些桥，去往更开阔的地方。对于这样一本书，除了读、摘抄和体会，很难再说更多。我不吝啬用“最好”来形容它——这是我读过最好的写古典诗歌与诗人的书，里头每一篇都是最好的怀人文章。 ——肖海鸥（读者） 我一直想谈谈那些过去时代的诗与人，不是做文学批评，也不是做考据翻案，约翰逊《诗人传》那种，我更是没有资格，也觉得于己无益。倘若硬要为自己的谈法寻个究竟，或者可以用“安得促席，说彼平生”这句陶诗来比附。Ｔ·Ｓ·艾略特在《安德鲁·马韦尔》的开头说道：“这里没有任何翻案文章要做，谈论他只是为了有益于我们自身。”张文江老师在讲丹霞天然禅师的时候说：“好玩的是我们自己。”他们的这些话给我开辟出一条道路，至于能通向哪里，自己也不能确定。 ——张定浩（本书作者）

我的文字，我的歌，就是我的盲人影院，是我的手和脚，她们甚至比我的身体和房屋更具体，更实在。感谢她们承载着我在人群中漫游，给我带来面包、牛奶、爱情和酒。 我把我黑暗的日子拧啊拧，拧出窗台上的一张专辑和一本书，为那些虚度的光阴命名，还有一些流逝的、不可命名的日子和人，为她们曾默默地微笑过存在过做见证。

从一阵风的幻影里诞生 我们漂泊形影孤单， 失落于那种永恒的命运， 像牺牲不知为谁而奉献。 像乞丐我们一无所有， 像傻瓜守在紧闭的门前。 像盲人我们只听到沉默， 我们的言语消失在里面。 我们是不知去向的过客， 是被狂风吹散的云彩， 花儿颤抖于死亡的凛冽， 等候那最后的时刻到来。 ——特拉克尔《夜的颂歌》 死一般的存在瞬间之感觉：每一个人都值得爱。你醒来感觉到世界的苦难；你所有未赎的罪尽在其中；你的诗是一次不完全的赎罪。 ——特拉克尔

本书收录了青年学者、诗人包慧怡2005—2015年间的代表诗作，是作者第一本正式出版的诗歌集。 包慧怡的诗具有一种罕见的女性气质，它不同于诗歌角色中的女性意识；某种意义上，它更近乎法国人德鲁兹指认的——在写作中成为女人的那种深刻而自觉的生命冲动。她的诗写得很大气，感受绵 密，体察细致，但又呈现了一种得体的心智之美。她的诗歌语调也很迷人，并且更可贵的，它几乎从不步于感性和装饰，而是总能借助语言自身的力量，将诗人的洞察推进到生命意识的深处。她的平衡能力也极其出色，不论多么细小的感受，她总能找到一种语言的方法，将它们像变魔术一般展现为一出小小的戏剧。 ——臧棣 包慧怡的诗里有一种完美的融汇之力：神秘主义的思想源泉，以情人私语的方式流淌；异域文化的花式，编织进了旅途中的星空；繁复奇特的华彩背后，隐现古老的神话原型。在我和很多读者眼中，她早就是当代最杰出，最有活力的汉语诗人之一。 ——王敖 复旦毕业、又从海外留学归来在复旦任教的青年女诗人包慧怡，学问渊博，才情卓异，而勤奋多产；学术研究与文学写作兼备，诗、文、译，三体俱佳，实属凤毛麟角。她的诗歌情态摇曳多姿，意识曲叠幽暗，既有知识女性优雅的审视，又含当代生活疼痛的感触。她的诗歌语言辨识度很高，修辞丰富，色彩斑斓；她诗歌中的声音尤其迷人，她每首诗的第一句几乎都是一种特别的声音破空而来，无中生有，她的诗歌就诞生在此音调上。她诗歌的发展也是在此音调的变幻中展开，它既有照各种复杂对位法构成的复调繁响，也有主调之下多声部的戏剧性冲突，也有纯粹单声的寂静抒情。她的诗可谓飘向远方又萦绕心间的音乐。 ——雷武铃

This all-new Signet Classic contains many of T.S. Eliot's most important early peoms, leading to perhaps his greatest masterpiece, The Waste Land , which has long been regarded as one of the fundamental texts of modernism. By combining poetic elements from many diverse sources with bits of popular culture and common speech linked in a fragmented narrative, Eliot recreated the chaos and disillusionment of Europe in the aftermath of WWI. * The Waste Land is a modernist literary masterpiece. * Contains a number of early poems, including Spleen, The Death of St. Narcissus, The Love Song of J. Prufrock, Preludes, Gerontion, The Hippopotmaus , and Sweeny Among the Nightingales . * T.S Eliot is the winner of the 1948 Nobel Prize for Literature, and is one of America's greatest poets. * Edited and with an Introduction by Helen Vendler, a foremost scholar of moderism at Harvard University who writes regularly for the New Yorker and The New Republic . * Vendler is also the author of books on other essential poets, including W.B. Yeats, Wallace Stevens, John Keats, George Herbert, and the forthcoming The Art of Shakespeare's Sonnete .

Explore the transcendent world of unity and ultimate beauty in Edgar Allan Poe’s verse in this complete poetry collection. Although best known for his short stories, Edgar Allan Poe was by nature and choice a poet. From his exquisite lyric “To Helen,” to his immortal masterpieces, “Annabel Lee,” “The Bells,” and “The Raven,” Poe stands beside the celebrated English romantic poets Shelley, Byron, and Keats, and his haunting, sensuous poetic vision profoundly influenced the Victorian giants Swinburne, Tennyson, and Rossetti. Today his dark side speaks eloquently to contemporary readers in poems such as “The Haunted Palace” and “The Conqueror Worm,” with their powerful images of madness and the macabre. But even at the end of his life, Poe reached out to his art for comfort and courage, giving us in “Eldorado” a talisman to hold during our darkest moments—a timeless gift from a great American writer.

The poetry and prose collected in Plainwater are a testament to the extraordinary imagination of Anne Carson, a writer described by Michael Ondaatje as "the most exciting poet writing in English today." Succinct and astonishingly beautiful, these pieces stretch the boundaries of language and literary form, while juxtaposing classical and modern traditions. Carson envisions a present-day interview with a seventh-century BC poet, and offers miniature lectures on topics as varied as orchids and Ovid. She imagines the muse of a fifteenth-century painter attending a phenomenology conference in Italy. She constructs verbal photographs of a series of mysterious towns, and takes us on a pilgrimage in pursuit of the elusive and intimate anthropology of water. Blending the rhythm and vivid metaphor of poetry with the discursive nature of the essay, the writings in Plainwater dazzle us with their invention and enlighten us with their erudition.

Seamus Heaney's new collection elicits continuities and solidarities, between husband and wife, child and parent, then and now, inside an intently remembered present - the stepping stones of the day, the weight and heft of what is passed from hand to hand, lifted and lowered. "Human Chain" also broaches larger questions of transmission, as lifelines to the inherited past. There are newly minted versions of anonymous early Irish lyrics, poems which stand at the crossroads of oral and written, and other 'hermit songs' which weigh equally in their balance the craft of scribe and the poet's early calling as scholar. A remarkable sequence entitled "Route 110" plots the descent into the underworld in the Aeneid against single moments in the arc of a life, from a 1950s adolescence to the birth of the poet's first grandchild. Other poems display a Virgilian pietas for the dead - friends, neighbours and family - which is yet wholly and movingly vernacular. "Human Chain" is Seamus Heaney's twelfth collection of poems.
