Whitman Poetry Readings
Coffee Tree Roasters
The Whitman Poetry Readings hosts a monthly poetry reading by a famous American poet followed by a discussion about the poet’s works. The event is free like Poetry Exchange Workshop and is held in a quiet private back room at Coffee Tree Roasters.
Word Circus
The Most Wanted Fine Art Gallery
This event at Chatham University is hosted by the MFA Creative Writing Programme every Friday night.

What’s the effect of poetry on our brain？ Scientists have been investigating the neuronal （神经元的） connections and brain circuits that can work in the reading of poetry for some time. And， even though the research has only just begun， the results are already fascinating.
Poetry has the oldest recorded text in literature. Although it’s impossible to say exactly when it began to be used in the oral tradition， we dare to say that it’s accompanied humanity forever. This gives us an idea of the impact that poetic language can have on our emotional and cognitive state. The emotional response to literature in general shares areas of activation with music. However， more areas of the right hemisphere seem to be related to poetry. The researchers measured the goosebumps resulting from the tingling sensation （强烈感受） in reading poetry. This type of sensation has also been proved to result from music. However， the tingling sensations produced by poetry activate different areas of the brain compared to those activated by music.
Dr Eugen Wassiliwizky’s team collected data on behavioural responses in people reading or listening to poetry. They proved that poetry is capable of causing emotional responses and rich emotional experiences. In addition， a poem expresses the poet’s ideas. From a psychological perspective， poetry is a game of language that manages to group words in a surprising way. We could compare this with how a chef combines ingredients that seem impossible to combine， producing extraordinary results. Poetry is based on rules of construction. It sets up a rhythm， which then breaks， before finally returning to it. The play on the meanings of words， sometimes several meanings in just one word， is extremely intellectually inspiring. We can read a poem a thousand times， and still find its new meanings.
Generally， our passage through the wonderful world of poetry is cut short by a rather reduced exposure during childhood and the overly analytical approach of this literary genre， which is given in most schools. Although the studies that experts have conducted on poetry get a lot of interesting results， poetry still holds a mystery that science hasn’t yet been able to investigate. For example， why a perfect cadence （抑扬顿挫） and rhythm can lift the spirits of people？ That’s the new challenge for the research.
4.What is the main difference between poetry and music？
A.Music causes fewer goosebumps.
B.Poetry creates more tingling sensations.
C.They work on different parts of the brain.
D.They are processed in different parts of the brain.
5.What does the author think of poetry？
A.It is vague in its meaning but rich in emotional experiences.
B.It combines ingredients and extraordinary results.
C.It expresses something about the poet.
D.It’s a pure game of language that gives surprises to readers.
6.What might be the problem when we learn poetry at school？
A.We analyse this literary genre too much.
B.We make children more exposed to it.
C.We haven’t read a poem a thousand times.
D.We rely too much on our teachers.
7.What is this text mainly about？
A.Findings about poetry.
B.The history of poetry.
C.How to write poetry.
D.How to appreciate poetry.
C
My family moved to St. Paul， Minnesota last year， where the average winter temperature is around 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Once summer ended， everyone went inside to play ice hockey. I’d been on the ice only a couple of times when I was much younger. When I’d fallen and broken my wrist during my second lesson， I’d decided never to put on ice skates again.
Ben， the friend I made in the new city， volunteered to teach me to skate. Even though he was very patient， I was so embarrassed about my clumsiness that I began to make excuses for not skating.
One day I discovered a faster route home. It took me passing a large frozen pond. I noticed a woman teaching a young girl to skate. The girl was attempting to jump and spin in the air.
Over and over， she pushed off the ground with the toe of her ice skate. And over and over， she landed hard on the ice.
After I had been watching the girl practice for about a week， one afternoon she suddenly lifted off the ground， spun in the air， and landed on her feet！
The next day I bought myself a pair of brand-new skates. Every day on the way home I stopped at the pond and wobbled onto the ice， right next to the girl who had landed her jump. As she perfected her twists and turns， I taught myself to glide and turn. It was hard being a beginner， and when I fell I had to fight the urge to simply give up. Instead， every time I went down， I just picked myself up and started over again. Soon I was able to keep my balance and skate more confidently. In just a few weeks， I was actually ready to practice the speed skating， fast stops， and quick turns needed for ice hockey. When I was finally ready to show Ben my new-found skating ability， he told me I should join the local hockey league. I tried out for the league and was chosen for a team. By the end of the season， I was part of a winning team.
8.What can we learn about the author？
A.He learned skating from the girl.
B.He preferred ice hockey to skating.
C.He had once given up learning skating.
D.He moved to a new city without summer.
9.Why did the author mention the girl on the pond？
A.To prove the girl was skillful.
B.To suggest the girl inspired him.
C.To show the girl was a quick learner.
D.To explain how he came across the girl.
10.According to the last paragraph， how was the author’s training？
A.Easy and basic.
B.Hard but rewarding.
C.Boring and tiring.
D.Strict but interesting.
11.What does the story mainly tell us？
A.All roads lead to Rome.
B.One is never too old to learn.
C.One good turn deserves another.
D.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

Tips for Memorizing Poetry
There are all sorts of methods and strategies for memorizing poetry. 12 Don’t try to force it — embrace （欣然接受） what works for you！
Repeat， repeat， repeat： The key to memorizing poetry is lots of repetition. Read each line out aloud three to five times， and then try to repeat it without looking at the page. 13 If repeating it feels boring， try our other ideas below！
Make use of all your senses： The more senses you use to help you memorize a poem， the easier it will be to remember！ Use hand motions （动作） to remind you of important words. Work out a dramatic way to read aloud or use a different accent. 14
Create art： Use the poem to make a work of art， whether by illustrating a fancy frame （画面） for it or by writing it out using your most beautiful script. 15 Make sure to display your art where you’ll see it！
Surround yourself： Write out copies of the poem and hang them up around the house in places you’ll see often. Try putting one by the dining room table， on the bathroom mirror， and above the kitchen sink （水槽）. 16
There are so many ways to memorize poetry. What’s most important is picking a poem you love， and then enjoying reading it or playing with it until it sticks！
A.Make up a song that fits the poem’s rhythms.
B.Try painting it on an unusual surface like a pumpkin.
C.Pick and choose the right ones to suit your own preferences.
D.You could learn about a lot of historical figures by painting.
E.The more you see it and read it， the more easily you’ll remember it.
F.You’ll need to use all your brain power to remember what’s missing.
G.Or， if you have a short poem， try reading the whole thing out aloud as many times as possible.

How to read a poem
Poetry is a combination of “sound” and “sense”.More than any
other type of literature， it usually implies① a deeper meaning beyond the
words on the page.So， how to reveal this hidden dimension②？
First， follow your ears.[1]While you may ask “What does it
mean？” as you begin reading a poem， it is better to ask “How does it
sound？” [2]Even if its true meaning appears to be beyond your grasp
③， you can always say something about how the poem sounds when you
read it aloud.Do you detect④ a rhythm？ Are there any repeated words，
rhymes⑤ or other special effects？ All of these are good qualities to
notice， and they may lead you to a better understanding of the poem in
the end.Read these lines to feel how they sound.
Sweet and low， sweet and low，
Wind of the western sea，
Low， low， breathe and blow，
Wind of the western sea！
Over the rolling waters go，
Come from the dying moon， and blow，
Blow him again to me；
While my little one， while my pretty one， sleeps.
（From “Sweet and Low” by Alfred Tennyson）
[1]While引导让步状语从句，其中包含一个as引导的时间状语从
句。主句中it是形式主语，动词不定式短语to ask “How does it
sound？”是真正的主语。
[2]本句为主从复合句。Even if引导让步状语从句；句中how引
导宾语从句，作介词about的宾语。
【读文清障】
①imply vt.含有……的意思，暗示，暗指
②dimension n.方面，侧面；规模，程度；维
③grasp n.理解，领会；抓紧，握紧，控制；能力所及
vt.抓紧；领会，理解
beyond one’s grasp 无法理解，无法领会
④detect vt.发现，查明，侦察出
detection n.侦查，探测；发觉，发现，察觉
⑤rhyme n.押韵词；押韵
vt.使押韵
vi.和……同韵
[3]Second， approach the poem as if you were an explorer in an
unfamiliar landscape.Ask some basic questions about the poem.Who is
talking？ Who is being talked to？ What is being described？ Is there a
sense of place？ Are there other people or objects there？ As you explore
the poem， you will begin to see images in your mind.What are those
images， and what happens when they are put together？ This
combination is often complex⑥ or even contradictory⑦.[4]As you slowly
explore your surroundings， you will start to dig up⑧ clues⑨ that give you
a greater understanding of the poem. Read these lines， pay attention to
the image of the caged⑩ bird and try to find out what it means.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
（From “Caged Bird” by Maya Angelou）

⑥complex adj.复杂的，难懂的

⑦contradictory adj.相互矛盾的，对立的
⑧dig up 发现，搜集，查明
⑨clue n.线索，提示；迹象
⑩cage vt.把（动物）关在笼中
n.笼子
trill n.（鸟的）啼啭；颤音
vt.欢快地高声说
vi.发颤音
Third， if you are still struggling to interpret the meaning of a
poem even with much painstaking effort， just have some patience .You
cannot really understand a poem that you have only read once.Sometimes
reading a poem can be a lifelong job.So if you do not get it， set the poem
aside and come back to it later.As an explorer， you will not reach your
goal immediately — you need to go on a journey to a remote and
unknown destination.This may seem difficult at first， but when you
finally make your great discovery， your efforts will be rewarded
.[5]Poems that are easy to understand are often less interesting than those
that constantly reveal deeper and previously unrecognized
meanings.Read these lines and try to find out what they mean.
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though；
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
（From “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert
Frost）
[诗歌赏析]全诗用质朴的语言讲述了一个夜行旅行者驻足欣赏
大雪纷飞的景象，尽管风景很美，但是旅行者还是决定继续赶路。
[5]本句含有两个定语从句。第一个定语从句that are easy to
understand修饰先行词Poems； 第二个定语从句that constantly reveal
deeper and previously unrecognized meanings修饰先行词those。

remote adj.偏远的，偏僻的；遥远的，久远的；远亲的
reward vt.奖励，奖赏
n.奖励，回报；悬赏金
constantly adv.始终，一直
Finally， remember that you do not have to fully understand a poem
to appreciate it.You might need to abandon logical thinking to discover
its true inner beauty.[6]As long as the journey of poetry reading makes
you feel something or lets you perceive another level of meaning， it
will have been worth your effort.
[6]本句为主从复合句。As long as引导条件状语从句，意为“只
要”。
logical adj.符合逻辑的；必然的，合乎情理的
logical thinking 逻辑思维
inner adj.内心的，隐藏的；里面的，内部的
inner beauty 内在美
perceive vt.注意到，意识到；将……理解为，将……视为
Poetry’s combination of “sound” and “sense” makes you see
the world in a new way and allows you to go beyond normal reality for
the everlasting beauty.Enjoy your journey in the world of poetry！
combination of “sound” and “sense” “音”与 “意”的结合
go beyond 超越；超出
go beyond normal reality 超越普通的现实
【参考译文】
如何阅读诗歌
诗歌是“音”与“意”的融合。与其他任何文学类型相比，
诗歌通常隐含着超越字面的更深层含义。那么，如何揭示隐藏的
这个方面呢？
首先，凭听觉的指引。当你刚开始读一首诗时，你可能会问：
“这是什么意思？”但最好问一句：“它听起来怎么样？”即使你似
乎无法理解诗歌的真正含义，也总是可以说说这首诗在朗读时听起来
如何。你能感觉到节奏吗？有没有重复词、押韵或其他特别的效果？
所有这些都是值得注意的特质，它们可能最终会帮助你更好地理解这
首诗。朗读下面这几句诗，感受它们的音律。
轻轻地，柔和地；轻轻地，柔和地，
西边的海风，
吹过，拂过，轻轻，轻轻，
西边的海风！
来自月色朦胧，
拂过波涛汹涌，
请将他再吹向我；
当我的小宝贝，小可爱，已入梦。
（摘自阿尔弗雷德·丁尼生《轻轻地，柔和地》）
第二，走进诗歌，就像你是一个置身于陌生风景中的探索者。问
自己一些关于这首诗的基本问题。说话的是谁？正在和谁说话？描述
的是什么？有感觉到某个地点吗？那里还有其他人或物吗？当你探索
这首诗的时候，你的脑海会开始浮现一些画面。这些画面是什么？把
它们组合起来会发生什么？这种组合通常是复杂的，甚至是矛盾的。
当你慢慢探索周围环境时，你会开始挖掘线索，这些线索会让你更好
地理解这首诗。读下面这几句诗，注意“笼中鸟”的形象，试着弄清
它意味着什么。
笼中之鸟，撕心裂肺，啼啭啾啾
所唱是未知之物，却依然渴求
歌声传到了远处的山丘
因为笼中的鸟儿在歌唱自由。
（摘自玛雅·安吉洛《笼中鸟》）
第三，如果你下了很大的功夫可还是纠结于理解一首诗的意思，
那就耐心一点吧。你不可能真正理解只读过一遍的诗。有时，读懂一
首诗可能是一辈子的事。所以如果你没有读懂某首诗，那就暂且先放
在一边，以后再读。作为一名探险家，你不会立即达成你的目标——
你得踏上旅途，朝远方未知的目的地前进。这一开始可能看起来很
难，但当你最终有了重大发现时，你的努力将得到回报。相比容易理
解的诗，那些不断展现更加深刻的、先前未发现的意义的诗常常更加
有趣。读下面这几句诗，看看是什么意思吧。
我想我知道这片林子的主人，
尽管他住在山村。
他不会见我驻足于此，
凝视着他积满白雪的树林
（摘自罗伯特·弗罗斯特《雪夜林边小驻》）
最后请记住，欣赏一首诗，并非得完全理解它不可。你可能需要
抛开逻辑思维以发现诗歌真正的内在美。只要读诗之旅能让你有所感
悟，或者让你发现另一层含义，你的努力就是值得的。
诗歌“音”与“意”的结合，让你用一种新的方式看待世
界，让你超越普通的现实，追求永恒之美。在诗歌的世界里享受
你的旅程吧！

What’s the effect of poetry on our brain？ Scientists have been
investigating the neuronal （神经元的） connections and brain circuits
that can work in the reading of poetry for some time. And， even though
the research has only just begun， the results are already fascinating.
Poetry has the oldest recorded text in literature. Although it’s
impossible to say exactly when it began to be used in the oral tradition，
we dare to say that it’s accompanied humanity forever. This gives us an
idea of the impact that poetic language can have on our emotional and
cognitive state. The emotional response to literature in general shares areas
of activation with music. However， more areas of the right hemisphere
seem to be related to poetry. The researchers measured the goosebumps
resulting from the tingling sensation （强烈感受） in reading poetry. This
type of sensation has also been proved to result from music.
However， the tingling sensations produced by poetry activate different
areas of the brain compared to those activated by music.
Dr Eugen Wassiliwizky’s team collected data on behavioural
responses in people reading or listening to poetry. They proved that poetry
is capable of causing emotional responses and rich emotional experiences.
In addition， a poem expresses the poet’s ideas. From a psychological
perspective， poetry is a game of language that manages to group words in
a surprising way. We could compare this with how a chef combines
ingredients that seem impossible to combine， producing extraordinary
results. Poetry is based on rules of construction.
It sets up a rhythm， which then breaks， before finally returning to it.
The play on the meanings of words， sometimes several meanings in just
one word， is extremely intellectually inspiring. We can read a poem a
thousand times， and still find its new meanings.
Generally， our passage through the wonderful world of poetry is cut
short by a rather reduced exposure during childhood and the overly
analytical approach of this literary genre， which is given in most schools.
Although the studies that experts have conducted on poetry get a lot of
interesting results， poetry still holds a mystery that science hasn’t yet
been able to investigate. For example， why a perfect cadence （抑扬顿
挫） and rhythm can lift the spirits of people？ That’s the new challenge
for the research.

My family moved to St. Paul， Minnesota last year， where the
average winter temperature is around 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Once summer
ended， everyone went inside to play ice hockey. I’d been on the ice only
a couple of times when I was much younger. When I’d fallen and broken
my wrist during my second lesson， I’d decided never to put on ice skates
again.
Ben， the friend I made in the new city， volunteered to teach me to
skate. Even though he was very patient， I was so embarrassed about my
clumsiness that I began to make excuses for not skating.
One day I discovered a faster route home. It took me passing a large
frozen pond. I noticed a woman teaching a young girl to skate. The girl was
attempting to jump and spin in the air.
Over and over， she pushed off the ground with the toe of her ice
skate. And over and over， she landed hard on the ice.
After I had been watching the girl practice for about a week， one
afternoon she suddenly lifted off the ground， spun in the air， and landed
on her feet！
The next day I bought myself a pair of brand-new skates. Every day
on the way home I stopped at the pond and wobbled onto the ice， right
next to the girl who had landed her jump. As she perfected her twists and
turns， I taught myself to glide and turn. It was hard being a beginner，
and when I fell I had to fight the urge to simply give up. Instead， every
time I went down， I just picked myself up and started over again. Soon I
was able to keep my balance and skate more confidently.
In just a few weeks， I was actually ready to practice the speed skating，
fast stops， and quick turns needed for ice hockey. When I was finally
ready to show Ben my new-found skating ability， he told me I should
join the local hockey league. I tried out for the league and was chosen for a
team. By the end of the season， I was part of a winning team.

Tips for Memorizing Poetry
There are all sorts of methods and strategies for memorizing
poetry. 12 Don’t try to force it — embrace （欣然接受） what works
for you！
Repeat， repeat， repeat： The key to memorizing poetry is lots of
repetition. Read each line out aloud three to five times， and then try to
repeat it without looking at the page. 13 If repeating it feels boring，
try our other ideas below！
Make use of all your senses： The more senses you use to help you
memorize a poem， the easier it will be to remember！ Use hand motions
（动作） to remind you of important words. Work out a dramatic way to

12. C 上文指出背诵诗的方法和策略有很多，下文指出不要强迫自己
背诵诗，而是要欣然接受对你有用的方法。由此可知，设空处应该与

you。
13. G 本段建议读者要反复背诵诗。G项内容与空前一句构成选择关

whole thing out aloud as many times as possible呼应小标题和上文中的
lots of repetition。
14. A 本段建议读者通过不同的感官来背诵诗。A项（根据诗的节奏
编一首歌）符合语境。A项中的Make up a song与上文中的Use hand
motions和Work out a dramatic way to read aloud or use a different accent.
都属于通过不同的感官方式来背诵诗，呼应小标题Make use of all
your senses。
15. B 本段建议读者通过艺术创作的形式来背诵诗。B项（在不同寻
常的物体表面，如南瓜上，画出诗）符合语境。B项中的painting呼应
上文中的art， it指代上文中的the poem。
16. E 本段建议读者把要背诵的诗张贴在家里的各个角落，设空处应

How to read a poem
Poetry is a combination of “sound” and “sense”.More than any other type of literature， it usually implies① a deeper meaning beyond the words on the page.So， how to reveal this hidden dimension②？
First， follow your ears.[1]While you may ask “What does it mean？” as you begin reading a poem， it is better to ask “How does it sound？” [2]Even if its true meaning appears to be beyond your grasp③， you can always say something about how the poem sounds when you read it aloud.Do you detect④ a rhythm？ Are there any repeated words， rhymes⑤ or other special effects？ All of these are good qualities to notice， and they may lead you to a better understanding of the poem in the end.Read these lines to feel how they sound.
Sweet and low， sweet and low，
Wind of the western sea，
Low， low， breathe and blow，
Wind of the western sea！
Over the rolling waters go，
Come from the dying moon， and blow，
Blow him again to me；
While my little one， while my pretty one， sleeps.
（From “Sweet and Low” by Alfred Tennyson）
[1]While引导让步状语从句，其中包含一个as引导的时间状语从句。主句中it是形式主语，动词不定式短语to ask “How does it sound？”是真正的主语。
[2]本句为主从复合句。Even if引导让步状语从句；句中how引导宾语从句，作介词about的宾语。
[3]Second， approach the poem as if you were an explorer in an unfamiliar landscape.Ask some basic questions about the poem.Who is talking？ Who is being talked to？ What is being described？ Is there a sense of place？ Are there other people or objects there？ As you explore the poem， you will begin to see images in your mind.What are those images， and what happens when they are put together？ This combination is often complex⑥ or even contradictory⑦.[4]As you slowly explore your surroundings， you will start to dig up⑧ clues⑨ that give you a greater understanding of the poem. Read these lines， pay attention to the image of the caged⑩ bird and try to find out what it means.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still

Third， if you are still struggling to interpret the meaning of a poem even with much painstaking effort， just have some patience .You cannot really understand a poem that you have only read once.Sometimes reading a poem can be a lifelong job.So if you do not get it， set the poem aside and come back to it later.As an explorer， you will not reach your goal immediately — you need to go on a journey to a remote and unknown destination.This may seem difficult at first， but when you finally make your great discovery， your efforts will be rewarded.[5]Poems that are easy to understand are often less interesting than those that constantly reveal deeper and previously unrecognized meanings.Read these lines and try to find out what they mean.
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though；
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

Finally， remember that you do not have to fully understand a poem to appreciate it.You might need to abandon logical thinking to discover its true inner beauty.[6]As long as the journey of poetry reading makes you feel something or lets you perceive another level of meaning， it will have been worth your effort.
[6]本句为主从复合句。As long as引导条件状语从句，意为“只要”。
Poetry’s combination of “sound” and “sense” makes you see the world in a new way and allows you to go beyond normal reality for the everlasting beauty.Enjoy your journey in the world of poetry！

【参考译文】
如何阅读诗歌
诗歌是“音”与“意”的融合。与其他任何文学类型相比，诗歌通常隐含着超越字面的更深层含义。那么，如何揭示隐藏的这个方面呢？
首先，凭听觉的指引。当你刚开始读一首诗时，你可能会问：“这是什么意思？”但最好问一句：“它听起来怎么样？”即使你似乎无法理解诗歌的真正含义，也总是可以说说这首诗在朗读时听起来如何。你能感觉到节奏吗？有没有重复词、押韵或其他特别的效果？所有这些都是值得注意的特质，它们可能最终会帮助你更好地理解这首诗。朗读下面这几句诗，感受它们的音律。
轻轻地，柔和地；轻轻地，柔和地，
西边的海风，
吹过，拂过，轻轻，轻轻，
西边的海风！
来自月色朦胧，
拂过波涛汹涌，
请将他再吹向我；
当我的小宝贝，小可爱，已入梦。
（摘自阿尔弗雷德·丁尼生《轻轻地，柔和地》）
第二，走进诗歌，就像你是一个置身于陌生风景中的探索者。问自己一些关于这首诗的基本问题。说话的是谁？正在和谁说话？描述的是什么？有感觉到某个地点吗？那里还有其他人或物吗？当你探索这首诗的时候，你的脑海会开始浮现一些画面。这些画面是什么？把它们组合起来会发生什么？这种组合通常是复杂的，甚至是矛盾的。当你慢慢探索周围环境时，你会开始挖掘线索，这些线索会让你更好地理解这首诗。读下面这几句诗，注意“笼中鸟”的形象，试着弄清它意味着什么。
笼中之鸟，撕心裂肺，啼啭啾啾
所唱是未知之物，却依然渴求
歌声传到了远处的山丘
因为笼中的鸟儿在歌唱自由。
（摘自玛雅·安吉洛《笼中鸟》）
第三，如果你下了很大的功夫可还是纠结于理解一首诗的意思，那就耐心一点吧。你不可能真正理解只读过一遍的诗。有时，读懂一首诗可能是一辈子的事。所以如果你没有读懂某首诗，那就暂且先放在一边，以后再读。作为一名探险家，你不会立即达成你的目标——你得踏上旅途，朝远方未知的目的地前进。这一开始可能看起来很难，但当你最终有了重大发现时，你的努力将得到回报。相比容易理解的诗，那些不断展现更加深刻的、先前未发现的意义的诗常常更加有趣。读下面这几句诗，看看是什么意思吧。
我想我知道这片林子的主人，
尽管他住在山村。
他不会见我驻足于此，
凝视着他积满白雪的树林
（摘自罗伯特·弗罗斯特《雪夜林边小驻》）
最后请记住，欣赏一首诗，并非得完全理解它不可。你可能需要抛开逻辑思维以发现诗歌真正的内在美。只要读诗之旅能让你有所感悟，或者让你发现另一层含义，你的努力就是值得的。
诗歌“音”与“意”的结合，让你用一种新的方式看待世界，让你超越普通的现实，追求永恒之美。在诗歌的世界里享受你的旅程吧！
