Paper Keywords: visual poetry stylistics postmodernism

By analyzing the postmodern features of visual poetry, this paper holds that visual poetry has surpassed its literary and artistic forms and will be applied to more fields in the future.

I. Introduction

After the Great Depression in 1930s, the United States finally ushered in economic prosperity and prosperity, which also created the duality of people's mentality and values in such a complex post-industrial society. On the one hand, the development of socialization requires impersonal expression of human beings and adheres to the principles of scientificity, rationality, unity and absoluteness; On the other hand, in people's minds, their pursuit of human nature after reflecting on the crisis of existence is the origin of American postmodernism.

Second, the characteristics of post-modern American poetry

Post-modernist poetry inherits the typical characteristics of post-modernist thoughts. Formally speaking, it opposes the identity and formatting of traditional poetry and advocates creativity and individuality; From the content point of view, it opposes the depth and complexity of its content, and emphasizes that the content of poetry should reflect the instinctive characteristics of life and make it flat; Philosophically, it is characterized by irrationality and uncertainty hovering between criticism and reflection, emphasizing the internal relationship between man and nature. Therefore, we can see that postmodern poetry pays more attention to the concept of language and the construction of its self-related symbols, which emphasizes that poetry can only be experienced, but not explained; It emphasizes the popularization of art and thinks that people should return to nature, experience nature and enjoy nature. Post-modern poetry under this standard leads to the directness of expression, and even achieves the requirement of experience by stimulating the senses, which can only achieve the expected purpose through the typesetting of language and text. Most post-modernist poems show the characteristics of common people and peace. Postmodern poets admire their civilian status and are willing to live among the people, care about what they care about and express their thoughts. Therefore, there is no praise in their poems, only the objective world seen in their personal eyes, so some poems are inevitably fragmented and chaotic, because even the same thing will have different results from different angles, and here people regard their subjective consciousness and understanding as their own. This has also resulted in the typical characteristics of postmodernism, with various new poetic ideas, forms and themes appearing first. Visual poetry is a poetic theme with postmodern style.

Thirdly, the stylistic features of visual poetry and the return of human nature of American postmodernism.

Visual poetry has always been a controversial form of poetry. They are not the names of a particular poetic genre, but the general names of several poetic themes with the same stylistic form. In this paper, all poems that intuitively present their literal contents and express their meanings through the arrangement and combination of languages or symbols are listed as? Visual poetry? , also often called? Body poetry? . The visual impression formed by his poems includes both objective things existing in nature and subjective intentions and experiences in people's thoughts and feelings. This impression forms a symbolic mark, which impacts people's visual association in the form of spatial layout and forms a special visual effect. Form contributes to meaning? The role of.

First, let's take a look at the poet Kurt Smith's? Dove? S song? ：

? Throw away your weapons/clothes for peace/wrap yourself in nature-

Is it? The cloak. ?

From the perspective of poetry itself, people have a sense of fracture. There is no connection between the upper and lower sentences, or even a subject. It is difficult to find the theme of poetry, which fully reflects the fragmentation and confusion of postmodernism. However, when you see the visual image formed by the characters, the theme of the poem is completely presented to the readers, and when the pigeon visualization is inserted into the poem as the theme, its meaning is clear at a glance. Dove, throw away your arms, put on clothes for peace and wrap in nature? S cloak? It reflects people's desire for peace and nature. Is this poem a visual poem? Form contributes to meaning? A model.

Therefore, if a visual poem wants to be a good poem, it must be closely related to the words in its three-dimensional space, reflecting its connotation or background knowledge, or its meaning that cannot be expressed in words. If modeling only arranges the characters into a certain shape and repeats what the characters describe, it is meaningless visual poetry, which is also the reason why visual poetry has been controversial since it came into being. Therefore, in the process of visual poetry creation, we should follow the footsteps of post-modernism and create works that appeal to both refined and popular tastes in appropriate situations, so as to popularize and simplify the mystery of knowledge and education. It is worth mentioning that the form of poetry is as powerful as the content, and its role in expressing the content is immeasurable. Therefore, a good visual poem should intuitively reflect people's emotional experience of the outside world without losing its aesthetic value.

Four. conclusion

Visual poetry is an interdisciplinary practice and an intentional language expression. From the stylistic point of view, visual poetry not only includes the variation of poetic form, the horizontal and vertical combination of symbols, but also embodies the pursuit of the return of human nature. Formalism and complicated relations will not appear in it, because people are more keen on natural and simple relations with the outside world, which is the theme of life in 2 1 century.
