Threshold moments in the poetry of Tomaž Šalamun and Arthur Sze

Sherman Cohen, Sheri (author)

The contemporary poets Tomaž Šalamun and Arthur Sze have inherited from the Romantic Era, and specifically William Wordsworth, the legacy of transcendental threshold moments. Both of these contemporary poets come to this same juncture by way of surrealism and the use of woven narrative. The catalyst of kinetic energy within the white space of the poem is imperative to this transformative vision of the sublime.

Abstract

Sodobna pesnika Tomaž Šalamun in Arthur Sze sta iz obdobja romantike, natančneje od Williama Wordswortha, podedovala zapuščino transcendentalnih mejnih trenutkov. Oba sodobna pesnika sta do iste točke v času prišla s pomočjo nadrealizma in tkanja pripovedi. Katalizator kinetične energije v belem prostoru pesmi je nujen za transformativno vizijo vzvišenega.
