"The German philosopher and esthetician Adorno said a famous saying in 1955 to the effect that "writing poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric." This is of course because the Auschwitz incident itself was " "Barbaric"! Just imagine, in human history, what could be darker, more bloody and more shocking than the German fascist Auschwitz concentration camp? No wonder Adorno denounced it so angrily! Artists have no right to distort history in order to express their own ideas. I must say that artists cannot make subjective assumptions for the sake of deliberate innovation in creation. In my simple understanding, this sentence means that artistic expression should abide by a certain degree of autonomy. , not everything can be used for poetic expression. I think that the materials that cannot be used for poetic expression should include the Auschwitz concentration camp incident in 1940 and the Nanjing Massacre in China at the end of 1937. Incident."
The above paragraph is the understanding of He Keke, associate professor of the Film and Television Department of the Central Academy of Drama, on "writing poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric."
"The difficult tone of poetry" is what the author of "Auschwitz and Poetry" heard from the victims and survivors, which means that no matter how great the suffering, people's desire to write poetry cannot be wiped out. , Suffering can inspire the "footnotes of poetry" to write great poems. The "footnotes of poetry" allow us to complete this complicated journey of feeling poetry from the beginning of suffering to the end of poetry; I hope we will not forget along the way. The scenery we saw, whether it was horrific or shocking, was the "footnote of poetry".
The last sentence of the article "Auschwitz and Poetry" is: "After reading the report, I did not avoid the suspicion of "barbarism" and wrote a poem "The Candle after Auschwitz", It wrote: "There is nothing left in Auschwitz, only a candle, with her timid and frightened eyes, looking into the ghost's eyes, a little girl sent a text message to the whole world - a mobile phone message. "Should our poetry light such a "candle"?" The last sentence in the article "Auschwitz and Poetry": quoted the author's words written in "The Candle after Auschwitz", I personally The understanding is that the author uses this to express poetry as literature, even after people have been destroyed by nature such as war disasters, they must regroup and cheer up, just like burning candles, using the match of the heart to light up the tomorrow of poetry hope. , I believe that no matter what kind of suffering and experience we encounter, poetry will always be rooted in the memory of history, and poetry will always be rooted in the hearts of people who love literature, and will never be erased or fade away, and will only change as time goes by. Have to grow mature and strong.
