## 感想

這些行句來回於真實、觸覺體驗和那種囉嗦的、在約翰·阿士貝里（John Ashbery）的作品中讓我們（部分人）十分喜愛的嘈雜之間。當你讀塞斯·阿伯拉姆森的詩時，這些句子好似在字與字的間隔之處動了起來，大量的連字號獨自的蹦跳，而這給了那些詩文一種韻律……這些詩句吸收了一些細節，但不以詩人們喜歡的方式限制這些；這不是形容性的，這不是描述性的，這和畫油畫風景不同，但這些細節非常迷人。

"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)
