酷我-北美枫

[星子]

Anna Yin is one of the bravest poets I have read. The reason I say that is because she dares to straddle the line between two languages, two very different cultures and strives to find an acceptable service to both.

She learns as she works and surprisingly she has achieved success, translating poetry and writing poems with a unique mix of the oriental and occidental. She works through the real events of life in a Western Canadian city using a quiet meditative style."..life there/has no trace of a spring;/I bring it back /and water it with my heart,"

I often find bits of poetry in her writing that are like small chinese miniatures, bits of meditation where her mind makes lovely images around the commonplace. "I halt and listen--/to each thin leaf/and falling dewdrops." These pieces contribute a soft freshness to the sarcasm of many Canadian and American poets.

---From Don Schaeffer

星子是我读过的最勇敢的诗人.之所以这么说,是因为她的诗歌横跨在两种截然不同的文化和语言之间,努力寻求一种相宜的可接受的风格.
她边学边写,并惊奇地获得一些成就,翻译和创写东西方结合的独特的风格.她以自己的沉静的冥想反映出在加拿大西方文化中真实的生活.
“那儿生活/没有春的迹象;/我带回它,/用我心浇灌.”
我常常发现她的诗歌是中国的缩影和冥思,那里她在平凡之处塑造出可爱的影像.”我停下静听--/每一片细叶/每一滴甘露” 所有这些奉献出柔和清新气息相对于北美诗人的流于嘲讽的作品.

Review of Jasmine Star Light

In James Deahl's recent translation of ancient Chinese poet,
Tu Fu's poem, "Brief Spring," he writes, "I watch butterflies and
raid deep blossoms,/ Watch dragonflies skim the water's surface."
and though Tu Fu speaks of this activity as "aimless" we realize that
beneath the surface of such imagery the poet is engaged in important work.
What is it then to preserve the history of ephemeral things, but to suggest
the presense of the eternal in such studied attentiveness. So too, in the poems
of Chinese Canadian poet Anna Yin, wherein dreams, desires, shadows, moonlight,
memories find their qualities as interior and eternal in the presence of seen things.
Butterflies. Fireflies. Lilies. Dewdrops. Spider webs. Winds. Breezes. Mists.
Footprints. Snowflakes. Pinecones. All curve backwards into permanence. We know
the quality of love is apprehended in loss. Exile need not lead to alienation.
As she writes in her poem, "The Family Tree,"--"I wander this involute city,
wish a wilted leaf blown back home." That curious word "involute" with its double
denotation meaning curling backwards and disappearing, and that noun/verb ''wish''
remind us that this living poet's captured moment is contemporary with the centuries
old concerns and observations of Tu Fu. Poetry writing is important work.
The hand may be a butterfly, but it leaves a permanent record of that
which has always concerned us. If we leave a trace of what we are, we honour life.

In Anna Yin's poetry
one senses the naked charm
of being fully immersed
in the moment
in a place called Now.
Alone, all aquiver with curiosity,
vulnerable. She surrenders
to the word beautifully.
And so does the reader.

-- Rashid Mughal

----interesting. Rashid gave me feedback as a poem.

“星子是我读过的最勇敢的诗人.之所以这么说,是因为她的诗歌横跨在两种截然不同的文化和语言之间,努力寻求一种相宜的可接受的风格.
她边学边写,并惊奇地获得一些成就,翻译和创写东西方结合的独特的风格.她以自己的沉静的冥想反映出在加拿大西方文化中真实的生活.
“那儿生活/没有春的迹象;/我带回它,/用我心浇灌.””

中肯的评价，引的诗句也很好。

我常常发现她的诗歌是中国的缩影和冥思,那里她在平凡之处塑造出可爱的影像.”我停下静听--/每一片细叶/每一滴甘露”……

——人家从诗人的作品看中国！于是我感到了海外诗人肩上的重量了！

Dear Anna,
I enjoyed reading many of your poems!
You are a great writer!
The topics you've mentioned in your poems are all very well-chosen and deep. I especially liked the one titled There Must be Something. This poem established a sense of peace upon the world and would leave the reader pondering about the simple pleasures in life. Sometimes, our lives are so busy that we overlook the more simple and beautiful things in our world.

I have never heard any symphonies in my life before, but after reading your poem, "The Farewell Symphony" I would like to try and listen to some more classical pieces.
----from Courtney Fan (Student in Mississauga high school)
