Writing Down the Bones

bones

######一家之评:

作者对于写作的技巧和情绪的发挥很有感悟,我是没学会啥写作的技巧,倒对如何欣赏诗和文章有了新的领悟。

######阅读笔记:

《writing down the bones》里写道,作者写下的文字,只是在当时当刻,文字与心中所想联结起来,于是一挥而就,写完之后就再也回不到那一刻,作者时时刻刻都在变:

The problem is we think we exist. We think our worlds are permanent and solid and stamp us forever. That’s not true. We write in the moment. Sometimes when I read poems at a reading to strangers, I realize they think those poems are me. They are not me, even if I speak in the I person. They were my thoughts and my hand and the space and the emotions at that time of writing. Watch yourself . Every minute we change. It is a great opportunity.

我之所以对这一点印象深刻,是因为我意识到自己以前的一种思维定式,总以为自己应该是恒常不变的,很怕自己推翻以前的认识、判断和志向。但其实事实始终在变迁,顺应时势,应激而动,像与水和风同旋,也像打太极、运气功,这才是一种正常状态。

So much depends on it because poems are small moments of enlightment at that moment the wheel barrow just as it was woke willianms up and was everything.
Learn to recall images and lines precisely as the writer said them.

这句不只点出创作诗的法门,也是欣赏诗的法门吧,读诗就是放弃与以上的解读,而顺应情绪在脑海中重现画面,尝试进入作者的情绪,并建构自己的感受。

《writing down the bones》里还有一段说到,细节很重要,细节会让我们描述的世界很真实。同时,仅仅罗列细节是不够的,就像做饭一样,我们准备好了原料,但如果不烹调,而只是将原材料混合起来,是不会得到想要做的菜品的。必须进行加工,使其产生化学反应一样的嬗变。

加工文字也是一样,我们有从生活中提炼出来的细节,需要投入自己的情感,热情作为催化剂,让它转变成真正的创作。当描述一个令人讨厌的事物,我们描述的口气应该是带着第一视角真的讨厌,仿佛正在面对这一事物描述感受一样;同样当描述喜爱的东西,或者想要描述故事中某一个人物对一物的情感,就要用想象力加上自己生活中积累的经验,切身体验一般地描述。这可以做为欣赏文学作品和艺术作品的一个指导,了解这样一条创作途径,势必更容易建立与作者当时当刻情绪的关联。

绘画也一样,只是按照别人教的套路去画出模式化的东西,而没有投入情感或个人的感触,那么画出的东西只能是习作,不具备感人的力量。而不经意间画的东西,因机而动,因心中有所触动而作,即使技巧不好,但却可将神髓表达出来一些。

这大概有助于人们理解梵高之类的作品。人们必然是体会到那描绘下强烈色彩时画家内心澎湃的激情、热情,这样即使他笔下的事物并不唯美,但那蕴含的力量则是充满魅力的。艺术这东西不是只有唯一解。每一种尝试都是可取的,而且价值并不是由别人说的算,每个人见解不同,而作者创作当时的情绪、力量也不可复制,人们读诗人的诗的时候,是体会诗人当时的情绪情境。

Writers live twice. They go with their regular life, are as fast as anyone int the grocery store, crossing the street, getting dressed for work in the morning. But there’s another part of them that they have been training. The one that lives everything a second time. That sits down and sees their life again and goes over it. Looks like the texture and details.
