English Summary/英文概要： A landmark collection of poetry by acclaimed fiction writer, translator, and MacArthur Fellow John Keene, PUNKS: NEW & SELECTED POEMS is a generous treasury in seven sections that spans decades and includes previously unpublished and brand new work. With depth and breadth, PUNKS weaves together historic narratives of loss, lust, and love. The many voices that emerge in these poems--from historic Black personalities, both familial and famous, to the poet’s friends and lovers in gay bars and bedrooms--form a cast of characters capable of addressing desire, oppression, AIDS, and grief through sorrowful songs that "we sing as hard as we live." At home in countless poetic forms, PUNKS reconfirms John Keene as one of the most important voices in contemporary poetry.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 著名小说作家、翻译家和麦克阿瑟研究员约翰•基恩的里程碑式诗集《朋克：新诗与诗歌选》是一本慷慨的宝库，分为七个部分，跨越了几十年，包括之前未出版的和全新的作品。《朋克》以深度和广度将失落、欲望和爱的历史叙事编织在一起。这些诗歌中出现的许多声音：从历史上的黑人名人（无论是家族还是名人），到诗人在同性恋酒吧和卧室里的朋友和爱人，形成了一个能够通过悲伤的歌曲来解决欲望、压迫、艾滋病和悲伤的角色阵容，这些“我们唱得和活着一样努力”的歌曲使得《朋克》再次确认约翰•基恩是当代诗歌中最重要的声音之一。

2022年国家诗歌奖得主，这是美国的最高荣誉之一。

"John Keene’s PUNKS is utterly brilliant. The range, vision, depth and humanity he brings to the page are as galactic as Banneker’s astral wanderings, as crisp as the chordal cutting of a searching horn, as courageous and small as a nose wide open. Keene’s masterfully inventive inquiry of self and history is queered, Blackened, and joyously thick with multitudes of voice and valence. Amen to this exploration!"--Tyehimba Jess

Winner of the 2022 National Book Award for poetry, one of the top honors for a book in the United States.
