摘要
卡尔·桑德堡的诗歌,一方面,从内容到形式上继承了沃尔特·惠特曼的创作风格:内容上,桑德堡使自己的诗歌成为"人民的声音";形式上,他采用自由体诗,打破传统的十四行诗的韵律,像惠特曼一样采用长句、重复、叠韵、罗列等技巧表达自己的情感。另一方面,卡尔·桑德堡紧跟时代脉搏,成为意象派诗人的一员,正是他短小精悍、浑然一体的意象诗使他名垂青史。
Carl Sandburg inherited the poetic style of Walt Whitman not noly in form but also in content. In the content, his poems spoke out people's hearts and sang for them. In form,by adopting free style poems and breaking the traditional rhyme of sonnet, he used the literary such techniques as long sentences, repetition, vowel rhyme and enumeration, expressed his feelings. He tried to keep pace with the time, becoming an imagist poet. It was his short, imagistic poems that brought him everlasting reputation.
