北塔著《巨蟒紧抱街衢――北京诗选》出版

 
　　中国诗人北塔最新中文诗集《巨蟒紧抱街衢——北京诗选》于2019年9月由黑龙江北方文艺出版社精美推出。收诗约150首（含组诗），共240页。
 
　　集子中所有的作品都源于并关于北京。作者已经在北京定居工作生活四分之一世纪，其间的爱恨情仇、酸甜苦辣在他的诗中都有或明或暗的记载和表现。由于中国都市发展的趋同性特征，他在北京的都市体验和经验，值得生活在其它中国城市中的人们所分享。
 
　　所有作品都跟旅游或宣传无关，而是茫茫人海中一颗水滴深沉的思索、本真的叹息和热忱的呐喊。
   
　　这部诗集，严格意义上说，是现代主义哲学、美学和诗学视域中的第一部中国都市题材个人诗集。
   
　　本书书名中的三个词“巨蟒”、“紧抱”、“街衢”正好都押了声母，在声音效果上如同金属掷地！本书封面设计很有创意，也富有寓意。“巨蟒”、“紧抱”、“街衢”三个词的排法巧妙，内部笔画相互缠绕，达到巨蟒就是街衢、街衢也是巨蟒的境界。本书之排版样式雅致精当，丰富而清脱。
 
　　在纸质书尤其是诗集出版严重不景气的今天，北方文艺出版社暨社长宋玉成先生逆流而行，推出本书，显现了纯粹的人文关怀和远大的历史眼光，难能可贵。
 
　　本书将在2019年10月初印度第39届世界诗人大会期间首发。
 
　　News letter of the publication of the poetry book “Serpent Embracing Street---A Selection of Poems on Beijing”
 
　　The poetry book “Serpent Embracing Street---A Selection of Poems on Beijing” by Chinese poet Bei Ta, was beautifully published by North Literature and Arts Publishing House in Heilongjiang Province in September of 2019. It consists of around 150 poems and 240 pages. There is attached a long academic essay on Chinese modern Metropolitan poetics written also by Bei Ta.
 
　　All the poems in this book are inspired in Beijing. The author has been living in BJ for more than 1/4 century，during which all his love and hatred, sweetness and bitterness are obviously or obscurely recorded and expressed. Due to the convergence trend of the development of almost all Chinese metropolises, the author’s feelings and experiences about BJ can be shared by people living in other metropolises.
 
　　None of the poems is related to tourism or propaganda, but to profound thoughts, natural sighs and enthusiastic cries of a drop of water in the vast sea of human beings.
 
　　This book of poetry, strictly speaking, is the first Chinese individual poetry book on metropolitan matter in the perspectives of modernist philosophy, aesthetics and poetics.
 
　　 The name of the book consists of three words: “Serpent”, “Embracing” and “Street”, which have the same pronunciation [s] in them. In Chinese characters, they have the same initial consonant, which sounds like some piece of metal falling onto the ground. The cover design is full of creation and connotation. The composing type of the three words are very ingenious with their strokes intertwined with each other, which produces the realm that a serpent is a street or a street is also a serpent. The typesetting of the book is elegant, precise, profuse and pure.
 
　　Today in China, the publication of paper books---especially books of poetry is rather stagnant like in winter, North Literature and Arts Publishing House and its director, Mr. Song Yucheng, deserve our loud applause by going against the stream to publish this book while showing pure affection of humanity and broad historical perspective.
