祝贺加拿大总督文学奖提名诗人Don Gutteridge’s 英文诗以及中译出版，译者星子安娜

星光织锦是加拿人诗人Don对诗以及先辈们的景仰，也是生活以及历史的珍贵写照。星子安娜为我们搭建另一种语言窗口去了解和欣赏，值得推崇！–辛牧 （《创世纪诗刊》主编）

In Don Gutteridge’s Starlight Tapestry, Anna Yin presents a superb group of poems full of ripe
wisdom from a poet who has played a central role in Canadian literature for more than fifty
years. And she contributes to Chinese poetry with her translations of Gutteridge’s work and
vision. Gutteridge is a poet of “the loving lustre of our life / together”. His is a world that is
“always / a burled beginning, all feel / and sense and tendrill’d touch.” The poet’s veneration for
all good things that he encounters is vividly displayed in this collection.

—A. F. Moritz
