I just heard that there were these scandalous writers called Language poets who didn't make any sense, and I wanted to go and see for myself what they were like, and some of them didn't do much for me, but this writer, Rae Armantrout, did an awful lot, and I kept reading her until I felt I knew what was going on, as I do with this poem.
当时，我听说这些「可耻」的作者 被称作语言诗派，写的诗很不着调， 我就想亲自摸索，一探究竟。 很多诗人对我的理解没带来多少帮助， 除了这位，雷•阿尔曼特劳特， 我获益良多，自此对她的作品爱不释卷， 直到体会到了字里行间的曼妙， 正如这首诗。
