Dec.10: Emily Dickinson,《零八憲章》


紐約— 
星期六（12月9日）《劉曉波紀念文集》在紐約舉行發布會。與會者回憶劉曉波的精神遺產，向仍被當局監控的劉霞女士表達敬意。
在諾貝爾和平獎得主劉曉波獄中因病去世後不到半年，他的首部紀念文集的出版發布會星期六在紐約法拉盛舉行。這一天，12月10日，是劉曉波被以煽動顛覆國家政權罪為之入獄的《零八憲章》發表9週年的紀念日。
共同主辦者、中國民主轉型研究所所長王天成說：“我們今天紀念一個傑出的生命，紀念一個以他畢生的激情和努力獻給一個偉大事業的人”
共同主辦者、《劉曉波紀念文集》主編、《民主中國》主編蔡楚說：“出版《劉曉波紀念文集》的目的，是繼承劉曉波先生的精神遺產，繼續推動《零八憲章》運動，努力完成劉曉波先生未盡的目標，把中國推向自由民主憲政。”
《劉曉波紀念文集》共收入91篇文章，包括悼文、詩歌、回憶和評論，其中36位作者來自中國大陸。西藏精神領袖達賴喇嘛，美國漢學家林培瑞(Perry Link)，《零八憲章》共同發起人張祖樺為文集作序。
北京之春雜誌社榮譽主編胡平代表獨立中文筆會致辭說：“偉大的生命從死後開始。我們的責任就是要讓劉曉波永遠活在人心之中，我們出版這部《劉曉波紀念文集》就凝結了我們共同的心願。”
美國國會及行政當局中國委員會主席盧比奧參議員、共同主席史密斯眾議員為這個活動發來的信函說，這一活動在中國人權惡化之際召開很有意義，並呼籲北京當局釋放劉曉波的妻子劉霞。
《零八憲章》簽署人之一的徐友漁說，繼承劉曉波遺產不是簡單的任務“劉曉波的思想一直處在流動變化、不斷否定舊我、創造新我的過程中。他對官方的正統意識形態批判是嚴厲，對自己的缺陷包括軟弱、虛榮的反省、批判和自我否定，也是毫不留情面的。”
流亡藏人行政中央議會議長堪布索郎丹培、美國維吾爾協會主席伊利夏提、哥倫比亞大學政治學教授黎安友(Andrew Nathan)、美國民主基金會前副總裁高寶玲，美國筆會言論自由項目經理詹姆斯·塔格爾與會致辭。
劉曉波去世後，他的妻子劉霞仍處於當局的嚴密監控中，與會的所有致辭者利用這一機會向劉霞表達了敬意和問候。
發布會後還舉行了兩場繼承劉曉波遺產的討論會。
Because I could not stop for Death. Dwelling in Possibility: 7 Awe-Inspiring Emily Dickinson Verses
Poet Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts on this day in 1830.
"If I read a book [and] it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry. These are the only ways I know it. Is there any other way?"
— Emily Dickinson in a letter to Thomas Wentworth Higginson (1870)
The same inimitable voice and dazzling insights that make Emily Dickinson’s poems immortal can be found in the whimsical, humorous, and often deeply moving letters she wrote to her family and friends throughout her life. The selection of letters presented here provides a fuller picture of the eccentric recluse of legend, showing how immersed in life she was: we see her tending her garden; baking bread; marking the marriages, births, and deaths of those she loved; reaching out for intellectual companionship; and confessing her personal joys and sorrows. These letters, invaluable for the light they shed on their author, are, as well, a pure pleasure to read.
