Can poetry return to hometown?
Can poetry return to hometown? Zong Renfa (1) opened his current collection of poems or poetry publications, and it is easy to see works expressing his feelings for his hometown, but not all of them can be read, because many of them have nothing to do with the real world in the poet's heart. Many poets who write about their hometown actually have no hometown in their hearts and have no intention of struggling to find it. For them, writing about their hometown is just a utilitarian strategy. A real poet must have a sense of hometown, as Ye Zhi said: "Everything we do, say and sing comes from contact with the earth." In everyone's eyes, hometown is first of all a concrete and concrete existence, not an empty concept, nor a utopia of language. The yearning for rural life and the pursuit of returning to the original state can be said to be the basic common sense of China poets for thousands of years. Poets living in a foreign land today are often unfamiliar with what they see when they return home. Faced with the ruthless devouring of natural villages by modernization and urbanization, it is inevitable for poets to write about their hometown with a sense of sadness. What is lost is no longer owned, and what is destroyed is irreparable. These changes in the natural environment are as painful to poets as their own physical and mental injuries. (4) Although not all hometowns are rural areas, most poets choose rural areas to describe their hometown scenes. This implies a deep-rooted psychology of the poet, that is, only places with natural flavor are suitable for expressing true feelings. In Liang's words, "our most secret and profound soul is closely intertwined with seasons, scenery and climate." When talking about the difference between rural areas and cities, the British writer Graham? Green made a comparison. "Life in the countryside is cordial and vivid, which makes people feel a kind of local feelings. People chat here, talking about the writing materials of a good writer. On the contrary, in the city, someone may commit suicide in the street next door, but you will never know. " ⑤ When this rural hometown enters poetry, it is no longer a simple description of a specific village, but a broad subjective meaning of the poet's judgment on life. It can also be said that hometown is the carrier of material scenery and the spiritual destination. The poet's understanding of his hometown will not be touched on the sensory level. When they return to their hometown and look at their hometown, they will also look at themselves: "My hometown is a foreign land, and how many impurities have transformed me" (Shi Bin's Hometown in the Moonlight). The poet is keenly aware that not only his hometown has undergone irresistible changes, but also the people corresponding to his hometown can't go back to the past. At this time, poetry touches not only a feeling of hometown, but also a survey of spiritual sustenance beyond it. 6. Writing about hometown is undoubtedly more and more motif today. Under the background of economic globalization and world integration, it effectively resisted colonial writing and rootless writing. Auden said: "Poetry has become the most native of all arts because of the curse of Babel, but in today's increasingly monotonous civilization all over the world, people feel that it is not so much a curse as a blessing: at least there will be no' international style' in poetry." ⑦ The current poetry works reveal a clear message, that is, excellent poets are pursuing to be a poet rooted in the earth, and they even regard hometown consciousness as truth. To this end, every poet is exploring his own unique way to return home. Although he is sometimes confused, sometimes misguided, and sometimes desperate, as long as the poet perseveres, he can approach the situation described by Si Tong Baker when commenting on Faulkner's creation: "We may finally really understand ourselves, our land, our history and our homeland, and we may finally find the happiness that illuminates our lives and promotes the human emotional communication that both of us urgently need."
