摘　　要：翠茜·史密斯是现任美国桂冠诗人,其新作《水中跋涉》延续了她探索未知的一贯诗学追求,并将探索的指涉范围扩大到未知的他者、虚指的“他者”和自为的魔灵,聚焦于当代美国突出的社会矛盾和环境破坏问题的共同根源,将“水”象征的爱河视为走出困境的路径,以“跋涉”象征的不畏艰险彰显诗歌的价值,不仅赋予其诗歌特有的张力,且履行了桂冠诗人的职责。Tracy K. Smith is the current U.S. Poet Laureate. Her new book of poems Wade in the Water continues her consistent poetic pursuit in the exploration of the unknown, expanding the territory of exploration to the unknown other, the indefinite “it” and the for-itself duende. This book of poems focuses on the shared root of social conflicts and environmental destruction in contemporary America, uses “water” that symbolizes the river of love as the path out of the predicament, and demonstrates the value of poetry through “wading” that denotes the toughness of attitude, all of which endows her poems with special tension and enables her to better carry out her duties as the Poet Laureate.
