one art / 失去的藝術

詩人Elizabeth Bishop的詩集陪伴我將近十年了，在美國讀書時，我最喜歡的課就是研究Bishop的討論會，她總是帶著雲淡風輕的口吻說著人生各式各樣的重大議題，但是背後卻有著無限的感情和想像空間。心情紛亂的時候，讀Bishop的詩集讓我能夠平心靜氣，因為太喜歡她的詩作，我為她的代表作One Art做了本小書。

The collection of Elizabeth Bishop's poetry has accompanied me for almost ten years. When I was studying in Rochester, my favorite course was Bishop's poetry. She always narrates major topics in life in a nonchalant tone, but the reader can feel waves of emotion behind her carefully-chosen words. When my heart seeks for peace, I turn to Bishop's works because they never fail to calm me down. Because I like her poems too much, I made a little book for the famous poem One Art.
