耶鲁出版社每年举办Yale Series of Younger Poets competition，搜罗全美国的年轻
诗人的诗作，评选出一位“耶鲁青年诗人”（Yale Young Poet）。这个奖项从1919年
开始设立，是美国历史最长的诗歌奖；历年获得“耶鲁青年诗人”称号的诗人包括
Adrienne Rich, John Ashbery, Jack Gilbert, Jean Valentine和 Robert Hass——
读过Adrienne Rich；她那届的评委是W.H. Auden。Auden从1947年起做过13年评委，是
该奖最辉煌的时光。
今年摘取耶鲁青年诗人桂冠的是University of Denver的博士生Eryn Green，作品集的
题目叫“ERUV”——什么意思？评委Carl Phillips的评论颇为精彩：
“ERUV,” says Phillips, “reminds us how essential wilderness is to poetry
— a wilderness in terms of how form and language both reinvent and get
reinvented; meanwhile, the sensibility behind these poems points to another
wilderness, the one that equals thinking about and feeling the world — its
hurts, its joys — deeply and unabashedly, as we pass through it.”
这是Eryn Green的代表诗作“Page of Swords”：
So take care of yourself, learn how
to take better pictures, breathe
into your hips, braver please
give love credit for
the way I live
that call me
kind of feeling
frenzied, lupine,
the card I draw
blushing in your breast
pocket undressing
freedom I know you
know you understand
"that call me"以下，怎么断句啊……

New Yale Younger Poet captures in his work life’s ‘hurts and its joys’
By Susan Gonzalez
March 13, 2013
Eryn Green, a doctoral candidate at the University of Denver, has been named
the winner of the 2013 Yale Series of Younger Poets competition, awarded by
the Yale University Press.
His prize-winning manuscript, “ERUV,” was selected by poet Carl Phillips,
who has been the judge of the competition for the last three years.
“ERUV,” says Phillips, “reminds us how essential wilderness is to poetry
— a wilderness in terms of how form and language both reinvent and get
reinvented; meanwhile, the sensibility behind these poems points to another
wilderness, the one that equals thinking about and feeling the world — its
hurts, its joys — deeply and unabashedly, as we pass through it.”
Yale University Press will publishing Green’s book in April 2014 as the
108th volume in the Yale Younger Poet series. Phillips’ second selection,
Will Schutt’s “Westerly,” will be published by Yale Press next month.
Green holds an M.F.A. from the University of Utah. His work has appeared in
Jubilat, Colorado Review, Painted Bride Quarterly, and elsewhere. “ERUV”
was also selected as a finalist for the 2011 Omnidawn 1st/2nd Book Prize.
Awarded since 1919 by Yale University Press, the Yale Series of Younger
Poets prize celebrates new American poets by bringing the work of these
artists to the attention of the larger public. Earlier winners of the prize
include Adrienne Rich, John Ashbery, Jack Gilbert, Jean Valentine, and
Robert Hass. It is the longest-running poetry prize in the United States.
The Yale Press will also continue its partnership with the James Merrill
House. Winners of the series will receive one of the five writing
fellowships offered at the James Merrill House in Stonington, Connecticut.
The fellowship provides a furnished living space and daily access to the
late poet’s apartment for a writer in search of a quiet setting to complete
a project of literary or academic merit.
The following is one of the poems in “ERUV,” titled “Page of Swords.”
So take care of yourself, learn how
to take better pictures, breathe
into your hips, braver please
give love credit for
the way I live
that call me
kind of feeling
frenzied, lupine,
the card I draw
blushing in your breast
pocket undressing
freedom I know you
know you understand
