## 感想

这些行句来回于真实、触觉体验和那种啰嗦的、在约翰·阿士贝里（John Ashbery）的作品中让我们（部分人）十分喜爱的嘈杂之间。当你读塞斯·阿伯拉姆森的诗时，这些句子好似在字与字的间隔之处动了起来，大量的连字号独自的蹦跳，而这给了那些诗文一种韵律……这些诗句吸收了一些细节，但不以诗人们喜欢的方式限制这些；这不是形容性的，这不是描述性的，这和画油画风景不同，但这些细节非常迷人。

"A poetics of economy often results in staid lines, the severe compression wrangling emotion from the verse. Yet such compression can also produce a curious mixture of specificity and spaciousness, as in the poetry of Seth Abramson. In an eight-poem set profiled in the current issue of the Notre Dame Review, Abramson often opts for lines of medium length, and yet his decision to fragment and indent the structure implies a world beyond the lines no less important and visceral than the words presented to the reader." -- Nicholas Ripatrazone, Luna Park (October 2008)
