对于当代新诗史来说,1980年代中后期的诗坛有着十分特别的、重要的意义。在那短短四五年的时间里,诗坛的巨大繁荣令人震惊,无数社团、流派、实验、宣言喷涌而出,令读者和批评家目不暇接。在热闹过后,翻检历史,去除喧嚣和虚浮,会发现那些坚硬的有意义的部分仍然保留了下来,作为那个阶段诗歌历史的真实内核,也作为后来诗歌写作的丰富资源,提供方向、方法或经验。李振声先生的《季节轮换》一书便是对那一阶段的诗歌历史进行的总结。作者占有了丰富的资料,对重要诗歌流派的来龙去脉,对重要诗人的创作背景、理论来源等都作了全面梳理和深入分析。这样的的全面与深刻使它的精彩在今天读来仍不失色,而书中提出的很多问题则与那个阶段之后的及与今天的诗坛都仍然息息相关。 For the contemporary history of new poetry, the poetry circles in the mid and late 1980s have very special and important meanings. In just four or five years, the immense prosperity of the poetic world was astounding. Countless associations, genres, experiments and declarations sprung up, leaving readers and critics dazzled. After the bustle, turning over history and removing noise and frivolity, we find that those hard and meaningful parts remain as the true core of the history of poetry at that stage, and also provide directions, methods or experiences as rich resources for later poetry writing . Li Zhensheng’s book The Season Turns is a summary of the history of poetry at that stage. The author possesses a wealth of information on the ins and outs of the important poetry genres, a comprehensive review and analysis of the creative background and theoretical sources of important poets. This comprehensiveness and profoundness have brought its splendor to today’s reading without losing sight of it. Many of the questions raised in the book are still relevant to the poetic world after that stage and today.
