余秀华是“中国的狄金森”?——余秀华与艾米莉·狄金森比较论

Yu Xiuhua is“China's Dickinson”?:Yu Xiuhua and Emily Dickinson's Comparison

近年来,余秀华诗歌风靡于中国,对其诗艺及人格的评论也越来越多。有学者提出余秀华是“中国的狄金森”,在学界文坛产生了一定影响。本文对余秀华和美国诗人艾米莉·狄金森进行系统性比较研究,深入辨析余秀华和狄金森在生平、心性及诗艺等方面的异同,以期深化对这两位中美女性诗人的认识,并对余秀华是“中国的狄金森”之说提出商榷。尽管余秀华与狄金森某些方面有相似之处,但总体来讲相去甚远。狄金森本质上是精神贵族,是诗界的冥想者,是属灵的歌者,余秀华则始终在大地上感知苦痛冷暖,始终在爱欲与不满中奔突追问,因此,她并非“中国的狄金森”,而是一位努力挣脱命运和世俗的羁绊、向死而生的“行吟者”。如前所述,诗歌是她的一根拐杖,一根支撑起她的尊严和存在勇气的精神拐杖。她的全部力量、全部野性、全部希望都凝聚于诗性的语言,成为中国当代诗坛不可漠视的独特声音。

In recent years,Yu Xiuhua's poems have become popular in China,and comments on her poetic skills and personality are increasingly growing.Some scholars put forward that Yu Xiuhua is“China's Dickinson”,which has certain influence on the literary circle.This paper makes a systematic comparative study of Yu Xiuhua and Dickinson,and makes an in-depth analysis of the similarities and differences between them in life,spirit and poetic skills,so as to deepen the understanding of these two female poets,and it puts forward that Yu Xiuhua is“the Dickinson of China”.Although Yu Xiuhua and Dickinson are similar in some aspects,they are far apart in general.In essence,Dickinson is a spiritual aristocrat,a meditator in the poetic world,and a spiritual singer.Yu Xiuhua has always felt the pain on the earth,and has always been rushing to ask questions in the process of lust and discontent.Therefore,she is not the“Dickinson of China”,but a“minstrel”who strives to get rid of the fetters of fate and worldly matters and lives to death.As mentioned above,poetry is her crutch,a spiritual crutch supporting her dignity and courage of existence.All her strength,wildness and hopes are condensed in poetic language,which has become a unique voice that can not be ignored in contemporary Chinese poetry.
