Imagination and Practice of Community of Shared Destiny:On Objects and Emotions in Zheng Xiaoqiong's Poetry
Zheng Xiaoqiong's poetry presents a significant number of depictions of natural and industrial objects,which are closely intertwined with her emotional expression.These objects,in various ways,construct and express the poet's feminine and lower class emotions.Natural objects construct the poet's feminine emotions by virtue of either sensory stimulations or cultural connotations,while industrial objects construct her lower class emotions by means of either triggering events or their social metaphors.The poetic expression of these two types of emotions aims to give voice to the"objects,"such as both natural objects and female workers,both industrial objects and underclass workers,so as to build a spiritual community of the others.Meanwhile,the poet's creative turn also hints at her consciousness of a community of shared destiny,through exploring the aesthetic way out in practice and imagination,and leading modern people to find poetic meaning and poetic life.
