( 《幻河》评论小辑)诗坛陡起旋风———现代史诗《幻河》与马新朝

《幻河》是一部足以与伟大的黄河相匹配的现代大诗作，从发源地、黄土高原、中下游直至入海的整个线路为暗线，一路翻转写来，气势恢弘，容民族性与人类性、自然性与文化性、原始性与当下性于一体；《幻河》结构独特，不同于一般意义上的叙事诗，它依赖一种高度抽象之后又非常具象化的大气魄、大激情来支撑全诗，其主要特点在于气脉的流动变化，为中国现代诗如何在传统基础上合理地吸收并运用西方现代表现手法，提供了成功的典范。《幻河》不仅是马新朝创作的高峰，也是新世纪中国新诗难得的一部杰作。

A Whirlwind in the Poetry World --Modern Epic Huan River and Ma Xinchao

Huan River is a modern poetry which can be matched with the great Yellow River. It takes as the underlying line the whole route which starts from the birthplace, runs through the Loess Plateau and streams into the sea. It puts nationality and humanity, nature and culture, the primitive and contemporary in one. Huan River with its unique structure is different from the narrative poem in the general sense. It relies on a great passion to support the whole poem. Its main feature lies in the change of Qimai, which provides a successful model for modern Chi- nese poetry about how to reasonably absorb and use the western modernism Huan River is not only the creative peak of Ma Xinchao, but a rare masterpiece of new Chinese poetry in the new century.
