註釋A collection of all-new poetry from this Pulitzer prize-winning American poet. In a recent conversation with Priscilla Becker, published by the Poetry Society of America, Richard Howard commented on his many personae: I don't like direct self-expression. All the work I do is some kind of invocation of or transaction with others, whether it's criticism, translation or poetry. There are poems that are direct self-expression, but certainly, with some sense of preference, there is an enterprise, which involves speaking through a mask, a persona. That it what the word means: sounding through - sonans per - and I like the idea of the mask or masks, because I'm more interested in the dialogue of others than in merely the dialogue with another - the dialogue of others who are out there, who are not me. Hannah Arendt, George Eliot, Cosima Wagner and a boy in a photograph by Arkansas photographer Mike Disfarmer are among the speakers in The Silent Treatment.
