苏珊·斯图尔特的诗集《红精灵》看似朴素平直,实则蕴涵深刻。诗人巧妙地利用了文学作品之间的互文关系,使其诗歌作品深深地植根于文学和文化传统,在有限的篇幅内极大地拓展了意义空间。斯图尔特以儿童游戏来映衬成人世界、在历史的背景下反思现代生活、在当代重现历史。虽然斯图尔特的诗有着厚重的历史感,但其风格却清晰硬朗,这得益于她丰富的学识、经验以及对身边生活的诗意的观察。 Susan Stewart’s poem “Red Elves” looks simple and straightforward, but in fact implies profound. The poet skillfully made use of the intertextuality between literary works, deeply rooted in his literary and cultural traditions, and greatly expanded the space of meaning within a limited space. Stuart uses children’s games to set off an adult world, to reflect on modern life in the context of history and to reproduce history in the contemporary era. Although Stewart’s poem has a strong sense of history, but its style is clear and tough, thanks to her rich knowledge, experience and the poetic observation of life around.
