莎朗·欧兹(Sharon Olds,1942-)被认为是当代美国后自白派的代表诗人。她的诗《我重回1937年五月》延续了她以往以家庭关系为写作主题的风格,探讨了丈夫与妻子、父亲与女儿的关系。在诗歌的最后,诗人点明了写这首诗的真正目的:既然无法改变父母结婚及他们的婚姻给我带来痛苦的事实,那么我就以叙述的方式告知大家整件事情,并以此宣泄自己的悲伤情绪。 Sharon Olds (1942-) is considered to be the representative poet of the post-White America in contemporary America. Her poem, “I Back in May 1937,” extends her previous style of writing about family relations as a style that explores the relationship between husband and wife, father and daughter. At the end of the poem, the poet points out the real purpose of writing this poem: Since it is impossible to change the fact that parents marry and their marriage brings me pain, then I tell the whole story by way of narration and act as a catharsis My sad mood.
