註釋
"William Trowbridge takes on a mythic task here, that of a son carrying the emotional weight of his father, in memory, of course, but infused with the spirit of Aeneas, carrying his own father, Anchises, out of Troy as it burned. So Trowbridge bears up with a father who is emotionally shaken from the effects of war and life. This poet, as "begotten son" from "Wartime, 1942"--on the father's shoulders, then--brandishes his characteristic haunted humor, helmets on, he says, metaphorically, for his entire family. To read these poems is to understand the ground many families occupy but few address. Let these poems deliver you, through confrontation and compassion, to a bright and lucid present."
