论当下美国非裔诗人的记录式写作及其族裔诉求

This essay is to analyze the awarded works of C.S.Giscombe, Claudia Rankine and Ronaldo W. Wilson with an effort to reveal their poetic experiment: to write as to record. Giscombe uses records to resist the construction of image, symbol and metaphor. Rankine’s poetry is to some extent a collection of daily talks. What Wilson presents to us are the fragments of biographical material. These writings, being as recording, are closely related to racial politics. They effectively demonstrate the rejection against racial discrimination and the power of discourse which functions behind it, sensitively uncovering many kinds of disguised racial prejudice in today’s America. Apart from the embodied racial concerns, the three poetic layers of this new type of writing are also discussed by the essay.
