摘要

Tracy K. Smith has her head in the stars. Thanks to her late father's job as an engineer on the Hubble Space Telescope, the US poet gathers inspiration from astrophysics and cosmology. Published this year, her third collection, Life on Mars, explores the future of human life, the great beyond and her father's death. As she prepares for a poetry reading at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, Smith talks about the limits of space and time. How did you begin to write about space? I wrote a poem called 'Sci-Ff several years ago that offered a clean and glamorous vision of the distant future. I felt fearless, writing "the word sun will have been re-assigned / to a Standard Uranium-Neutralizing device / found in households and nursing homes". Then my father was diagnosed with a terminal illness. My sense of the future became very personal. Life on Mars became a way to move towards my father, to try to understand some part of the mystery of death.
