註釋

Simon Turner's Difficult Second Album not only fulfils all the threats and promises of his debut, You Are Here (Heaventree, 2007), but also rightfully sees him take his place as a true troubadour of the surreal. Featuring his most accomplished work to date, this second collection is not in fact difficult, but rather darkly precise, quick-witted and modestly bold. Turner has an eye for infectious and joyously offbeat lines, rendering both the incongruous and beautiful in his own version and voice. Wherever Difficult Second Album may veer, between deftly lyrical but defiantly modernist poems on nature, acidic and satirical cut-ups on world politics, or in the quiet riots of notes to self, rejection slips and mislaid manifestos, Simon Turner remains confident and foot-sure in the strangeness and abundance of it all, of what poetry both intends and is capable of.
