内容简介:
Against Esther Ruth Sharp's own fears ("No people read poets, except what's scribbled on greeting cards"), it is possible that someone might read what is contained in this volume of fledgling work. And what can be said for what is within ought rather be said by that reader. But, perhaps, we may presume a word or two? It is the task of a poet to tell us things we knew, but couldn't say - to translate life and the commonplace - to give shape to thoughts and voices. In this function, these poems - and this poet, though her name were unknown - may find their worth, if the reader comes with a sincerity to equal that with which they were written.
