Appreciation of Shu Ting's Poem Boat
"Ship" is an important poem, and the feeling of writing "stranded" embodies many experiences of the author. 1972, she was taken care of as an only child and returned to the city. She didn't arrange work, and she felt helpless. She can't even get a job as a private teacher, and she feels that there is an insurmountable step between reality and ideal. One step away, but far away. So Shu Ting wrote the poem Ship. She finally understood that "stranding" is also a kind of life, which was many years later. In Ship, the author uses the ship as a metaphor, and the flying soul is imprisoned on the threshold of freedom. Here, Shu Ting successfully completed the transformation from life to art, instead of telling the truth of life directly in poetry or arranging the language of life in poetry. In this kind of poem, she can release the feelings of pain and happiness well. Shu Ting often puts images together in pairs, which can be said to be the superficial embodiment of her contradictory feelings.
