"His territory is [where] passion and eloquence collide and fuse.'—The New York Times

"Richard Siken writes about love, desire, violence, and eroticism with a cinematic brilliance and urgency."—Huffington Post

Richard Siken's debut, Crush, won the Yale Younger Poets' Prize, sold over 20,000 copies, and earned him a devoted fan-base. In this much-anticipated second book, Richard Siken seeks definite answers to indefinite questions: what it means to be called to make—whether it is a self, love, war, or art—and what it means to answer that call. In poems equal parts contradiction and clarity, logic and dream, Siken tells the modern world an unforgettable fable about itself.

The Museum

Two lovers went to the museum and wandered the rooms.

He saw a painting and stood in front of it

for too long. It was a few minutes before she

realized he had gotten stuck. He was stuck looking

at a painting. She stood next to him, looking at his

face and then the face in the painting. What do you

see? she asked. I don't know, he said. He didn't

know. She was disappointed, then bored. He was

looking at a face and she was looking at her watch.

This is where everything changed . . .

Richard Siken is a poet, painter, and filmmaker. His first book, Crush, won the Yale Younger Poets' prize. He lives in Tucson, Arizona.

用户评价

LOGIC IS BORING BECAUSE IT WORKS. Being unreasonable is exciting. - putting down the brush for the last time - 一本油画，读到光，影，色彩，很多黄色和一些红色，but what do I see? “I don’t know”. 喜欢Siken。以及Kovacevich的cover design真是都好美啊

如果像西莫尼德斯所说的那样，“诗是出了声的画”，那这其实是一本油画集。虽然远不及尽善尽美，但看起来的确很像我的画。
