(Robert Penn Warren,1905-1989),美国第一人桂冠诗人。早年为“新批评派”代表之一,被评论界成为“我们最杰出的文学家”以及“二十世纪后半叶最重要的美国诗人”。沃伦堪称美国当代文坛上一位少见的全能作家。他的诗歌典雅而通俗,急促的节奏中常常折射出感伤和忧郁,表现了当代人的孤独和异化感,揭示了一个善恶并存的世界。 (Robert Penn Warren, 1905-1989), the first poet laureate in the United States. In his early years he was one of the representatives of the “New Criticism” and was recognized by critics as “our most distinguished writer” and “the most important American poet in the second half of the twentieth century.” Warren is a rare all-around writer in American contemporary literary circles. His elegant and popular poetry, the rapid pace often reflects the sentimental and melancholy, showing the contemporary sense of loneliness and alienation, revealing a coexistence of good and evil world.
