作者简介

劳尔．朱利塔

　　于1950年生于智利首都圣地牙哥。他原本修读工程学，后来才走上诗歌创作之路。1973年奥古斯多．皮诺切特于智利发动军事政变，许多国人曾遭逮捕及虐待；朱利塔也难倖免，他受到激发，写下早期的诗作，并在获释后协助组成激进的社会行动艺术团体CADA，后来诗人亦凭其激烈并具挑衅性的公开表演而成名。他曾以推土机和喷气式飞机表演，演示出或许是史上最大型的诗作。80 年代初，朱利塔曾于纽约上空以蓝天为纸，白烟为墨，书写出其诗作〈新生活〉中的部分段落。其后于皮诺切特掌政期间，朱利塔曾于阿塔卡马沙漠用推土机推出 Ni Pena Ni Miedo（「无痛无惧」）的字样，字样之大更须于空中俯瞰才能清晰可见。

　　朱利塔荣获多个奖项，包括古根海姆奖学金及智利全国诗歌奖。诗集作品包括《炼狱》(1979)、《在天堂》(1982)、《天堂空荡盪》、《歌颂消失的爱》、《对智利的爱》、《新生活》及《悼念》。近日诗人亦推出三本诗作，分别由 Marick Press、Action Books及加州大学出版社出版，包括由罗威廉所译的《耶稣，拿撒勒人，犹太人的君王》、由丹尼．波西奇所译的《歌颂消失的爱》，及由安娜．丹妮译的《炼狱》。朱利塔现居于智利圣地牙哥，为圣地亚哥波塔利斯大学的文学教授。（吴咏雯、谢小婷译）

　　Raul Zurita was born in Santiago, Chile in 1950. He started out studying engineering before turning to poetry. His early work is a ferocious response to Augusto Pinochet’s 1973 military coup. Like many other Chileans, Zurita was arrested and tortured. When he was released, he helped to form a radical artistic group CADA, and he became renowned for his provocative and intensely physical public performances. He has written what are perhaps the most massively scaled poems ever created. He has done this with earth-moving equipment and smoke-trailing aircraft. In the early 1980s, Zurita famously sky-wrote passages from his poem, “The New Life,” over New York and later—still during the reign of Pinochet— bulldozed the phrase “Ni Pena Ni Miedo” (“Without Pain Or Fear”) into the Atacama Desert which, for its length, can only be seen from the sky.

　　Zurita is the recipient of numerous awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship and the National Poetry Prize of Chile. Three new books—INRI, translated by William Rowe; Song for His Disappeared Love, translated by Daniel Borzutzky; and Purgatory, translated by Anna Deeny—have recently been published by, respectively, Marick Press, Action Books, and the University of California Press. His books of poems include, among others, Purgatorio (1979), Anteparaíso (1982), El paraíso está vacío, Canto a Su Amor, Desaparecido, El Amor de Chile, La Vida Nueva, and In Memoriam. He lives in Santiago, Chile, where he is Professor of Literature at the niversidad Diego Portales.
 

大海

一
惊人的诱饵从天降。惊人的诱饵
落向海。蛰伏之海，升抵罕见之云
朗朗一日。惊人的诱饵
落向海。曾落下一次爱情
曾落下清澈一日在此刻之海。

是阴影，鱼饵。朗朗一日落下，
一段爱来不及道説。爱，是爱
骇人的诱饵从天落向海
鱼群之阴影上。

激日落下。奇异的诱饵澈日紧随
来不及道説的爱。

海，人们説到海。说到落下之诱饵和
紧随之澈日，説到半途的爱，
清澈和无尽的日子为海里的鱼落下。

The Sea

1
Strange baits rain from the sky. Surprising bait falls upon the sea. Down
below the ocean, up above unusual clouds on a clear day. Surprising baits
rain on the sea. There was a love raining, there was a clear day thats raining
now on the sea.

They are shadows, bait for fishes. A clear day is raining, a love that was
never said. Love, ah yes, love, amazing baits are raining from the sky on the
shadow of fishes in the sea.

Clear days fall. Some strange baits with clear days stuck to them, with loves
that were never said.

The sea, it says the sea. It says baits that rain and clear days stuck to them,
It says unfinished loves, clear and unfinished days that rain for the fish in
the sea.
