从塞克斯顿特殊的生活经历出发、部分结合当时美国社会背景和欧美诗学理论探讨塞克斯顿对自己诗人身份的认定及其诗歌创作观,指出其诗歌并非一个精神病患者的病历日记,实为一个自觉诗人将个人独特经历与社会历史环境结合起来有意识创作的结果,而诗人关于无意识创作的理论更是揭示了“自白”这一标签所体现出的对诗人及其创作简单化处理的倾向。 Starting from the special life experience of Sexton, this part discusses Sexton ’s cognizance of his poet’ s identity and his poetry creation view based on the social background of the United States at that time and the theories of European and American poetry. It points out that his poetry is not a medical diary of a mentally ill person. In fact, it is the result of a conscious poet integrating his unique experience with the social and historical environment, and the poet’s theory of unconscious creation reveals that the poet and his creation are simplified by the label “Confession” The tendency to deal with.
