罗伯特.海顿在他的诗歌中表达了他对自身身份和他所从属的美国黑人民族的身份的困惑,诗人以其强烈的个人色彩表达了他对缺乏归属感的困惑。他还是一个主张从个人和历史文化角度来写作的诗人,因此遭到了提倡和支持黑人美学运动的黑人诗人的排挤。罗伯特.海顿的诗歌构成一个大的象征体系,他的那些极具了个人色彩的诗作也以其象征手法表达了他对民族和社会的担忧和困惑。 In his poetry, Robert Haydn expressed his confusion about his identity and the identity of the Afro-American peoples to which he belonged. The poet, in his strong personal expression, expressed his confusion about lack of belonging. He was also a poet advocating personal and historical writing, and was therefore pushed aside by black poets who advocated and supported the black aesthetics movement. Robert Haydn’s poetry constitutes a great symbolic system, and his personal poetry also symbolizes his fears and confusion about the nation and society.
