美国当代诗人阿什贝利的《悖论与矛盾》通过探讨诗歌借以存在的媒介——语言,以及读者和诗人在创造和决定意义过程中所扮演的角色等问题揭示了诗歌的存在价值。诗歌是诗人向读者发出参与语言游戏的邀请,读者要做的就是享受阅读时的快乐。所以重要的不是理解的结果,而是理解的过程。 The “Paradox and Contradiction” of American Contemporary Poet Ashbury reveals the value of poetry by examining the medium through which poetry exists - the language and the roles that readers and poets play in creating and deciding meaning. Poetry is the invitation of the poet to participate in the language game to the reader, the reader must do is enjoy the pleasure of reading. So what matters is not the result of understanding, but the process of understanding.
