商品描述内容简介Nurkse's atmospheric, deeply satisfying new collection is a love letter to the far corners of his hometown, Brooklyn, New York, and a meditation on the selves that were left behind in those indelible places.
Nurkse brings alive the particular details that shape a life, in this case unique to the world of Brooklyn--a job at the Arnold Grill, "topping off drafts with a paddle" for the truckers who came in; the deaf white alley cat that mysteriously survived the winter on a stoop in Bensonhurst; the narrow bed where young love took place; the wild gardens behind the tenements. And Nurkse's exploration of this almost mythic city past is combined with a sense of the future speeding toward us--the ongoing riddle of time and being in a larger universe.作者简介D. NURKSE is the author of nine previous books of poetry. His recent prizes include an Arts and Letters Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and a Guggenheim Fellowship. He has also written widely on human rights.
