The Character Evaluation of Harry Edmund Marthinsen

The Nobel Prize in Literature of 1974 was awarded to the Swedish people, and it was shared equally by novelist Elvin Johnson and poet Harry Edmund Marthinsen. Harry Marthinsen won the prize because his works can reflect the whole world through a drop of dew. Nobel Prize in Literature often sends them to his family, and this time they are divided equally by two Swedish writers. If Elvin Johnson really doesn't have any characteristics, then Harry Marthinsen is a good poet. He was a sailor at the age of 15 and traveled to South America and India with the ship. Marthinsen has no formal education, and his literary genius was born in a wandering career, so he is called a "literary waif". His early poems were about sailors' lives, such as Ghost Ship, and later he wrote The Road of the Sea Breeze, Poems of Light and Dark and Grass Mountain. The scenery in his poems is very detailed and strange. In addition to careful observation, he has a rich imagination. His recognized masterpiece is the sci-fi space poem Anjara. Science fiction is developed in America and Europe, but science fiction poetry is underdeveloped. Few authentic poets write science fiction poetry, so Anjara is special, but the story is complete, the language is fluent, and space navigation is full of crisis and various contradictions. It should be said that it is a very good science fiction work, but it is not a science fiction classic. Poets are good at observing life from a new angle and seeking unique discovery and understanding. His poems are unique, and so are those who dare to write science fiction poems. What's more, he is also famous for his science fiction poems. He pays attention to thinking, and his poems often have strong philosophical meaning and great artistic coverage. But strictly speaking, he has no unique language contribution and lacks language charm, so he still has a long way to go compared with many great poets.
