WATER WALKER AND 19 MASKS FOR THE NAKED POET: COLLECTED POEMS

Book ID/图书代码： 06840014B71451

English Summary/英文概要： The lyrical poems of award-winning author Nancy Willard celebrate the magic of life

Nancy Willard, who was the first recipient of a Newbery Medal for a volume of poetry, displays her versatility in these companion collections.

Divided into five sections, Water Walker blends the mundane with the mystical. From sleeping fish to Marco Polo to a tortoise who dispenses unique advice to a bride on her wedding day, these poems integrate fables, nursery rhymes, hymns, and songs.

In 19 Masks for the Naked Poet, the human soul reveals itself, as we remove the disguises that bind (and blind) us to everyday life. Fanciful images of nature—dozing bees, green lions—infuse this collection. Doors become mirrors and husbands float above their marital beds as Willard explores themes of family, love, spirituality, politics, and immortality. Her “poet” experiences everything from the sacred to the profane, from photographing his heart to meeting God in creations that are enchanting and surreal.

This ebook includes illustrations by Regina Shekerjian.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 来自获奖作家南茜•维拉德的抒情诗集，赞美了生命的魔力。

南茜•维拉德是第一位纽布雷诗歌集奖的获奖者，在这本诗集中，她为我们展示了她的才华横溢。

本书被分为五个部分，“履水人”主要将世俗与神秘相融合。从沉睡鱼到马可波罗再到一只为婚礼当天的新娘提供独特建议的乌龟，这些诗篇融合了寓言、童谣、颂歌和歌曲等诸多形式。

在“赤身诗人的19张面具”中，当我们缓缓移开将我们束缚于凡尘俗世，并模糊了我们视线的屏障后，人类的灵魂逐渐恢复了其本来的面貌。有关于自然古怪而花哨的景象----打鼾的蜜蜂、绿色的狮子等，均跃入诗集之中。一扇扇门变成了一面面镜子，丈夫们在婚床之上漂浮，在此中，维拉德探究了有关于家庭、爱、灵性、政治以及永生的主题。她笔下的“诗人”经历了从神圣到亵渎，再到生动地刻画自己的灵魂，以便与创世纪中的上帝相遇等的一切，在超越现实和凡尘的同时却精彩绝伦，充满魅力。
