日常生活的迷魅——阿米蒂奇《磁场:马斯登诗歌》的交叉诗学

Title:The Enchantment of Daily Life:The Intersectional Poetics in Simon Armitage’s Magnetic Field:The Marsden Poems

现任英国桂冠诗人西蒙·阿米蒂奇以日常生活书写获得了大众读者和批评界的一致推崇,《磁场:马斯登诗歌》便是他此类书写的代表作。诗人称其诗作主要使用了厨房水槽现实主义手法,但其中多数诗歌实际上采用了他此前提及的“西约克郡魔幻现实主义”手法。这一手法是阿米蒂奇交叉诗学的体现。他试图通过诗歌形式和内容等层面的不和谐交叉,再现身份认同和地方生活的多元混杂性,呈现物质世界的动态关联性。诗人旨在通过描绘刹那间心灵对物质世界的迷魅体验,启迪现代人重新建立自我与外物的连接感。

Simon Armitage,the current Poet Laureate of the UK,has garnered much praise from both the reading public and critics for his writing about daily life as exemplified in the representative collection of his poetry,Magnetic Field: The Marsden Poems. Even though the poet has claimed that his poetry writing relies primarily on the style of “kitchen sink realism,”most of the poems in this collection were actually written with the techniques of what he had previously termed as “West Yorkshire magic realism.” Such an approach is a specific demonstration of Armitage’s intersectional poetics. By exploring the “uncomfortable intersection”used in poetic form,content and others,he attempts to re-present the diverse hybridity of self-identity and local life and exhibit dynamic correlations in the physical world. With an indepth delineation of the enchanted spiritual feeling toward the material world at a passing moment,the poet aims to inspire the people in modern world to reestablish a sense of connection between the things around them and themselves.
