叙述的诗学:博尔赫斯与西川

Narrative Poetics: Borges and Xi Chuan

叙述是诗人在处理自身经验时不同于抒情诗人的一种言说方式。诗人博尔赫斯与西川用它来呈现故事,塑造人物并记录日常经验。这种叙述方式在两位诗人那里还产生了独特的音乐效果,表现在他们言说的语调、诗句的节奏和诗句的衔接方式上。在对诗体探索上,博尔赫斯认为写诗和散文在本质上没有什么差别,他有相当多的诗向散文、小说、戏剧等文体靠拢;而西川仍有意识地对诗歌形式进行探索,创作出了个性鲜明的诗歌文本。

Narration is a narrative way involving a poet＇ s own experience, which is different from the lyric poet＇ s. Both poet Borges and poet Xi Chuan use it to present the story, to create characters, and to record daily experience. Because of both ones＇ narrative mode, there is also a unique music effect, which is reflected in their narrative tone, the rhythm of poems and the coherence of poems. For the style of poetry, Borges considers that there is no difference between poem writing and essay writing essentially. Therefore, lots of his poems are closed to styles of essay, novel and drama while Xi Chuan consciously explores the style of poem and writes many poems with typical personality.
