艾伦·金斯伯格(Alien Ginsberg1926——),美国“垮掉一代”代表诗人,五十年代以其反主流文化、惊世骇俗的长诗《嚎叫及其它诗篇》享誉文坛。1974年因诗集《美国的衰落》获美国全国图书奖,并成为美国艺术文学院院士。“垮掉运动”作为诗歌潮流虽已消褪,但作为一个社会活动家、批评家,青年一代的思想宗师,其影响至今不衰,而且仍很活跃,从来也没有停止过对于人、自然、世界以及社会重大问题的思考。 金斯伯格的诗作明显受益于(厂尤)德,W.C.威廉姆斯,特别是惠特曼的影响。东西方文化——从犹太教、基督教到佛教、印度教、禅宗令人惊奇地溶入他的睿智之中。他反对“雕琢修饰过的”诗,主张一切都可以入诗,诗歌语言应来自口语,能吟唱、节奏鲜明,适于朗读。其诗风热情奔放,也不乏深沉与幽默。 译者有幸受金斯伯格授权,委托翻译《金斯伯格诗选》中文版,现译介二首,以飨读者。 Alien Ginsberg (1926--), American “Beat Generation” on behalf of the poet, fifties famous for its anti-mainstream culture, horrifying poem “Howling and other poems”.
