摘　　要：诗歌文本的声音结构与其所包含的意义不可分割,声音的音乐性是美国非裔诗歌的重要特征。美国非裔声音诗学来源于诗人自觉的艺术实践和社会文化实践。艾丽丝·沃克的诗歌中蕴含丰富的布鲁斯声音元素和布鲁斯音乐叙事特征,是其用来书写非裔经验、表达非裔诉求的重要方式。文章从声音诗学入手,解读了沃克诗集《马儿让风景更美》中的布鲁斯音乐叙事特征。首先,沃克诗歌中的词语、句子、段落的重复符合布鲁斯音乐特点。这既突出了诗歌文本的声音,又奠定了诗歌的感情基调,如布鲁斯音乐所表达的伤感、忧郁、愤怒等情感。其次,诗歌中的“呼唤—应答”与即兴表演使诗歌的声音意义大于其文字意义。声音作为诗歌的内部结构和主要构成部分,既显示了沃克诗歌的声音诗学,又与布鲁斯音乐叙事特征一致。最后,诗歌中的叫喊与黑人口语/方言相结合,同样体现了布鲁斯音乐叙事特征。沃克用独特的声音形态赋予诗歌声音的文本化意义,记录美国非裔诗人的独特文化经历,表达非裔美国人的心理情感。在当下跨媒介研究成为热点的背景下,从声音诗学的层面阐释沃克的诗歌给沃克研究乃至诗歌研究提供了一个重要的研究视角。The sound structure of the poetic text is inseparable from its textual meaning,and the musicality of sound is an important feature of African-American poetry.The sound poetics of African American poetry originate from the conscious practices of African-American poets in artistic and social-cultural dimensions.Alice Walker′s poetry is featured by narrative of blues music as an important method to depict African-American experience and express their appeal.In light of poetics of sound,this paper interprets the narrative features of blues in Walker′s poetry Horses Make a Landscape Look More Beautiful.It argues for the following points:firstly,the repetitions of words,sentences and paragraphs in Walker′s poetry are consistent with the characteristics of blues music,which not only highlights the sound structure of the textual content of the poem,but also fixes the affective keynotes,such as sadness,melancholy and wrath expressed in the blues music.Secondly,the call-and-response and improvisation in poetry makes the sound meaning of poetry more conspicuous than its literal meaning.As the internal structure and main component of poetry,sound not only demonstrates the sound poetics of Walker′s poetry,but also agrees with the narrative characteristics of blues music.Finally,the combination of holler and African-American oral language/dialect also embodies the narrative characteristics of the blues.By employing unique sound forms,Walker endows her poems with textualization of the sound,which serves to present the cultural experience of African American poets and express their psychological affects.Cross-media research has currently become a hot academic topic.In this context,interpreting Walker′s poetry from the perspective of sound poetics can provide an important research perspective for the study on Walker as well as the study on poetry.
