菲利普·莱文是美国第18位桂冠诗人,他出身工人阶级,以为无声者代言为使命,写出了许多反映普通人生活的优秀诗作。莱文的早期诗歌中多愤怒的呐喊,表现受压迫者的痛苦和愤怒;后来渐趋平静,多反映下层人民的无奈、坚忍和乐观。他的诗朴实无华,笔触细腻,表达了对下层人民的深切同情。 Phillip Levine is the 18th poet of the United States. He was a working-class generation who thought that the silent speaker endorsed his mission and wrote many excellent poems that reflect the life of ordinary people. Levin’s early cry more angry cry, showing the suffering and anger of the oppressed; later calm, more reflect the helplessness, perseverance and optimism of the people at the lower. His poem is plain, his brushwork is delicate, expressing his deep sympathy for the people below.
