近年来,长诗创作出现了一些值得关注的对话,有的人强调长诗写作的崇高感和包容力,有的人则对一味追求“大诗”式的创作提出批评,还有的人提出了“小长诗”这一命题。以这些争论为背景,陈亮的新作《桃花园记》非常值得关注。这部作品不仅在艺术借鉴、情节结构、人物塑造等方面都有许多值得称道的地方,而且还契合了当前人们关于诗歌——尤其是长诗创作的艺术反思,有助于人们深入思考当代长诗的文体特征和艺术可能,从而校准当代长诗创作的致力方向。

In recent years,there have been some noteworthy dialogues in the creation of long poems.Some people emphasize the loftiness and inclusiveness of long poem writing,some people criticize the creation of blindly pursuing the“big poem”style,and others put forward the proposition of the so-called“small long poem”.Against the background of these debates,Chen Liang’s new novel Taohuayuan Ji is very noteworthy.This work not only has many praiseworthy aspects in terms of artistic reference,plot structure,characterization and so on,but also fits in with the current people’s artistic reflection on poetry,especially on long poetry creation,which helps people to think deeply about the stylistic features and artistic possibilities of contemporary long poetry,thus calibrating the direction of commitment to contemporary long poetry creation.
