摘要

关键词诗歌，Sumita Chakraborty, NASA，天气，食物，安全，探索，沉默黄金唱片的b面背景说明我的b面系列是基于NASA的黄金唱片。1977年，美国国家航空航天局(NASA)的旅行者号(Voyager)发射了这些记录，并将这些记录装在瓶子里发送给外星人，向他们介绍人类。出于各种原因——包括禁止露露的内容，担心唱片被视为侵略的标志，以及法律和财政限制——人类这个小而孤立的委员会在如何描绘人类方面相当有选择性，所以黄金唱片公司排除了大量关于地球及其居民的内容。我的系列在探索所谓的“王室我们”的快乐和暴政的同时，居住在这些空白中。第六首:“疑问句的心情”你好吗?你叫什么名字?你们那里的天气怎么样?你最喜欢的食物是什么?你叫什么名字?你的家乡不常见吗?你最喜欢的食物是什么?总是那样的味道吗?你的家乡不寻常吗?像我们这样的人在那里安全吗?总是那样的味道吗?你是什么?像我们这样的人在那里安全吗?你怎么这么安静?你是什么?你到底是什么?你怎么这么安静?你们都是这样的人吗?你到底是什么?你能大点声说吗?Sumita Chakraborty Sumita Chakraborty是一位诗人和学者。她是诗集《箭》(Alice James Books[美国]/Carcanet Press[英国])的作者，曾被《纽约时报》、美国国家公共电台(NPR)和《卫报》报道。她目前正在写一本学术著作，《严重的危险:人类世的诗学和死亡伦理》，这本书是由明尼苏达大学出版社提前签约出版的。她是诗歌基金会、前进艺术基金会和昆迪曼荣誉的获得者，她是北卡罗来纳州罗利市北卡罗来纳州立大学英语和创意写作助理教授。版权所有©2023马萨诸塞评论公司

期刊介绍： MR also has a history of significant criticism of W.E.B. Dubois and Nathaniel Hawthorne. An Egypt issue, published just after 9/11 on social, national, religious, and ethnic concerns, encouraged readers to look beyond stereotypes of terrorism and racism. As part of the run-up to its Fiftieth birthday, MR published a landmark issue on queer studies at the beginning of 2008 (Volume 49 Issue 1&2). The Winter issue was a commemoration of Grace Paley, which is going to be followed by an anniversary issue, art exhibition, and poetry reading in April of 2009.
