在20世纪的美国诗坛,爱德华·埃斯特林·卡明斯(Edward Estlin Cummings,1894-1962)以其独特的象形诗体独树一帜,自成一派,引起了评论界的广泛关注。然而在实验主义诗歌的外衣之下,卡明斯的诗歌还蕴含着丰富的超验主义色彩。两种看似背道而驰的创作风格在卡明斯的诗歌中浑然一体。这样的写作特色也使卡明斯成为“最具传统意义的现代诗人”。本文拟从卡明斯的创作背景出发,结合其诗歌主题和风格,通过具体的诗歌例证,尝试描绘卡明斯诗歌中超验性的冰山一角,为深入发掘其作品的写作风格起到一个抛砖引玉的作用。 In the 20th century American poetics, Edward Estlin Cummings (1894-1962), a unique and pictorial poetic genre, became a monolithic one, arousing widespread concern in the critics. However, under the cloak of experimentalism, Cummings’ poetry also contains rich transcendentalism. Two seemingly contradictory writing styles blend seamlessly in Cummings’ poetry. Such writing features also make Cummings “the most traditional modern poet”. Based on Cummings ’theme and style, this essay attempts to depict the transcendental tip of the iceberg in Cummings’ poems through concrete examples of poetry, and serves as an inspiration for further exploration of the writing style of his works effect.
