內容簡介

"This book hits the note of melancholy, lyricism, and whimsy that always gets me in my favorite art. I loved the pacing, the way silences open up in it, the way color becomes a marker of selfhood in a grey alienated world, and the heartache in the final wish that the letter finds its way home (wherever that is)." 「本書聲調和諧，含蓄蘊藉，情景交融，藉色彩表達作者在一灰色異鄉的清愁，而以前路黯然，信落何方抒離情別緒，深契我喜愛藉詩歌表達幽渺情懷的藝術境界。」 ——Srikanth (Chicu) Reddy（美國芝加哥大學英國文學教授 Voyager 作者）「以詩人的細膩來發掘人文的情趣。她以相機代筆，攝取那些足以使她感動的點點滴滴，⋯⋯，可是只要沉下心來，你會體會到鏡頭下可以開拓的心靈境界，是一個出乎你想像之外的天地。」 ——漢寶德

延伸內容

◎文／漢寶德

　　Irene是一個在美國成長並受教育的台灣孩子。

　　回到台灣所看到的一切都是陌生而新奇的。但是她並不是以批評的態度來觀看醜陋的台北市，而是以詩人的細膩來發掘人文的情趣。

　　她以相機代筆，攝取那些足以使她感動的點點滴滴，跟著她的鏡頭所看到的是一個完全不同的台北。

　　誠然，如果沒有詩人的情懷，她的這本書會給你一種不易理解的挫折感。

　　可是只要沉下心來，你會體會到鏡頭下可以開拓的心靈境界，是一個出乎你想像之外的天地。

　　請你細細品嘗吧！
