Bluebell前言 ——
文｜Emily Midorikawa
英日混血作家，著有Out of Shadows: Six Visionary Victorian Women in Search of a Public Voice
Bluebell(藍鈴花)——光是這個名字，就能喚起美妙的聯想。藍鈴花呈天藍色，鐘形的花朵仿佛精靈的杯盞，自古以來便與魔法和仙靈傳說緊密相連。即使到了今天，凡是曾在斑駁光影中的林地轉角處，偶然邂逅一片藍花地毯的人，都知道那種瞬間被它們迷住的感覺。
在閱讀這本刊物中的詩歌與散文時，我常常想起這種感覺。
Bluebell是一本文學氣息濃厚、具有強烈國際視野的雜志，其作品來自世界各地——既有這種野花在春日常見、卻仍令人屏息的地方，也有它從未出現過的地域。
盡管創刊號所展現的作家群體地理跨度甚廣，描繪了不同的文化和社會，但仍有一些共同的主題格外引人注目。恰如這本雜志的名字所示，許多作家的關注點集中在“平凡”事物中的非凡意義上：一個偶然的邂逅；一次出人意料的反應；某種揭示隱藏現實或建立新聯系的經歷。
在那篇令人著迷的 Murmurations 中，Siobhan Galvin描繪了一位因神秘關系而被卷入一連串不可逆事件的主人公。而在 Shrilly, on a Tuesday 里，Arun賦予一組看似平凡的日常物品以驚人的新意。Eugenia Webster的《如果明天戰爭開始，你會怎么做？》中，作者用手指輕撫破舊書脊的動作，仿佛打開了一道通往童年記憶場景的門戶。
這三篇作品——一個短篇故事、一首詩和一篇散文——所呈現的閃光時刻，僅是本期精彩內容的縮影。閱讀它們讓我有幸結識了許多新聲音和令人耳目一新的文字，它們常常使我以全新的視角審視當下的世界。
而當我從當下回望過去，不禁想到維多利亞時代的人曾將藍鈴花視為恒久不變的象征——這點對我而言同樣真實。孩提時代，每到春天，我已故的母親總會準備好野餐，執意帶我們全家開車前往她最喜歡的林地，重復一年一度的傳統儀式。她自東京遷居英格蘭北部后便深深愛上了藍鈴花。我們會將車停好，走上那條年年走過的小徑，一直走到空地上——如果一切如愿，那里總會再次鋪展開一片藍色花海，那景象既熟悉親切，又每一次都令人驚艷如初。
這種感受，不正如我們期待從一本文學雜志中獲得的體驗嗎？每一期都保有一以貫之的語調與精神，又蘊藏足夠的新鮮元素，帶來意想不到的驚喜？
在此，我唯一還想說的就是：我衷心希望這只是
Bluebell雜志的第一期，未來還會有更多期的出版。而每年定期翻閱它的篇章，終將成為我生活的一部分，就如同那段早已過去的家庭傳統一般。
—— Preface ——
By Emily Midorikawa
Bluebell– the very name conjures up wondrous associations. The
bluebell, with its cerulean, bell-shaped cups has been associated historically with enchantment and fairy lore. Even today, anyone who has ever turned a corner in a light-dappled woodland and stumbled upon a carpet of these blue flowers will know what it is to fall suddenly under their spell.
It’s something I found myself thinking about a lot while reading the poetry and prose within these pages.
Bluebellis a very international publication, with work drawn from all over the world – from territories in which this wildflower is acommon, though nonetheless arresting, springtime sight, to those in which it is unknown.
Although the geographically wide pool of talent showcased in the magazine’s first issue has resulted in a real diversity of cultures and societies portrayed, some unifying themes stand out. Aptly, given the publication’s name, a preoccupation of many writers is the extraordinary nature of‘ordinary’ things: a chance encounter; an unanticipated reaction; something that reveals a previously hidden reality or forges a new connection.
In the constantly intriguing ‘Murmurations’, Siobhan Galvin presents a protagonist drawn into an unstoppable chain of events through a mysterious relationship. ‘Shrilly, on a Tuesday’ by Arun attaches startling new meanings to what we might initially regard as a collection of everyday objects.Eugenia Webster’s ‘What Would You Do If War Began Tomorrow?’ depicts the movement of the author’s fingers stroking tattered book spines as a sort of portal leading her back to scenes from childhood.
These luminous moments from three works – a story, poem and essay – are just a few of the many fascinating examples I could have chosen to highlight. It was a pleasure to discover many new voices, and new writing that often made me look at today’s world afresh.
To turn from the subject of the present to the past,though, I am reminded that the Victorians associated bluebells with constancy – something that also rings true for me. Throughout my childhood, my late mother – who’d loved bluebells ever since emigrating from her native Tokyo to Northern England – would pack up a picnic every spring and insist that our family drive out to her favourite local wood so that we could repeat an annual ritual. We’d park the car anddescend the same well-trodden path to the clearing where, if everything was at is should be, we’d encounter that sea of blue flowers once more – a sight that was both comfortingly recognisable and uniquely astounding on each viewing.
Isn’t this sensation similar to the feeling we hope to gain from reading a literary magazine – that every issue will be instantly identifiable in terms of overall tone, while also bursting with elements that take us by surprise?
On that note, all that remains for me to say is that I hope this will be the first of many issues of
Bluebellmagazine and that regularly exploring its pages will become as much a part of my annual routines as that long-past family tradition once was.
