《弹性系数外的浮云》收录了新加坡文化奖、文学奖得奖人希尼尔这二十余年来发表的诗歌 52 篇,其诗的语言具有本土意识,以本土的视角去看现在、未来和传统。内容涵盖了历史与社会题材,是对浮城的人、事、物的一种深切的关怀与无以言表的焦虑感,一次纯粹对生气勃勃且浮躁的群体产生实质联系的新国民写作。人生无常如浮云,纷纷扰扰的历史是需要承载记忆的,共同记忆——是集体感情的最大公约数,也是此诗集深度探索的人文题材。

Floating Clouds Beyond The Elastic Limit

Floating Clouds Beyond the Elastic Limit champions a new national literature grounded in the histories of a restless tribe—we who have found a home away from home. Xi Ni Er’s poetry is alive with awareness of locality and origins – this awareness feeds the present, the future and the past in his work. Wide-ranging in their sweep, the poems go into historical and societal themes, reflecting deep concern and anxiety for the people, the happenings and the objects in a floating city, a transient life, and a pitiless history.
