Abstract

With an eye to the workings of collage – in particular its prophetic temporality – I explore the collage practice of the Australian poet Bella Li, with a focus on her second book, Lost Lake (2018). Taking my cue from movements of broken or disjunctive association in Li’s work, I seek to mirror Li’s poetic collages with a reading that is itself both exploratory and associative. Beginning by commenting on the circularity of collage, this article itself becomes a kind of collage. Li’s surrealist practice, layering evocative object (word, image, idea) over evocative object, instigates a chain of associations. Via such sequences’ ellipses and associative chains, Li writes poetry as transtemporal collage, as a surrealist dream, and as prophecy of what was and is and is yet to come.
预言拼贴:李的失落之湖
着眼于拼贴的运作方式,特别是其预言性的时间性,我探索了澳大利亚诗人Bella Li的拼贴实践,重点是她的第二本书《失落的湖》(2018)。从李作品中断裂或分离联想的动作中,我试图用一种探索性和联想性的阅读来反映李的诗歌拼贴。本文从评论拼贴的循环性入手,将拼贴本身视为一种拼贴。李的超现实主义实践,将唤起的对象(词、图像、思想)叠加在唤起的对象之上,引发了一连串的联想。通过这些序列的省略号和联想链,李将诗歌创作成跨时空的拼贴,超现实主义的梦想,以及对过去、现在和未来的预言。
