翻開詩集，你會讀到梁秉鈞於三十年前寫下的詩句，讀到他當年的熱情和詩意，今天再讀，仍是首首新詩。這次我們和梁秉鈞､袁兆昌等一起說《雷聲與蟬鳴》的做書過程。
二月是一個特別的月份，自從零六年二月創立至今，Kubrick詩會邁進第五個年頭，詩會結束後有一個簡單的慶祝，歡迎各位朋友到來， 在此感謝一直支持我們的朋友。
It is a wonderful way to start a new year for the light! Poetry illuminates hope, passion and joy. It reaches us as a connection of the past, present and future. More, it connects people’s heart.
With the will to do a book launch at Kubrick, Steven Schroeder shipped 5 of his new poetry book “a dim sum of the day before” all the way from Texas to Hong Kong. Texas is a dear place to Steven for he grew up in Texas Panhandle. The memory of the plain is deeply rooted in his subconsciousness. Wherever he is or whatever he is writing about, his friends put is, he is talking about Texas.
Granted with mulit-talents, Steven is a writer and professor at the University of Chicago and Shenzhen University, a co-founder and organizer of the VAC(Virtual Arts Collective) and the Chicago-Kuming poetry group respectively. Steven is a philosopher and poet. He is interested in understanding the relationship of poetry with philosophy and he publishes extensively on this subject. Before writing poetry, he is actually a painter and he still paints and draws. Perhaps the best way to introduce Steven as and just as “Steve”.
People often ask him when he is in China “Why do you come to China?” or “Why do you go to China?” when he is in Chicago. In answering these questions, he wrote a poem “For the Light” included in the new poetry book.
I come to China to learn to walk away /for the light / for silence in a wall of sound/ for the leaves, always autumn/ for the children / for the tricycle flower garden / OR
No one goes anywhere for any reason
but for love, drawn
by circles of friends, driven
by circles broken.
There is no place
but this.
没有人无缘无故去某个地方
除了爱，还被
朋友圈子吸引，被
拆开的圈子驱使。
没有地方可去
除了这里。
(translated by Li Sen and Wang Hao/ 王浩 、李森 译)
Apart from being a writer, professor, philosopher, poet and painter, Steven is the dearest teacher, mentor and friend for his students. In the process of contacting and preparation, some of his students write to me, expressing the pain they have to think of him being away to Chicago for half year’s time.
Writing poetry is a process of slowing down. In slowing down, you will have a better concentration, better analysis, better quality of living and a better breath of air. Steven will agree on this, will you?
