自觉为民族代言的歌者——评白涛的《长调与短歌》

作为蒙古族诗人,白涛是一位自觉地为养育他的民族代言的歌者。他不仅投入了饱满的感情,而且是一种理性的认知。他站立于内蒙古草原这片坚实的大地上,他的写作,是有根性的写作。蒙古族历史文化之深厚博大,足以令他敬畏、仰视,因而,狂放的诗人变得温顺、谦虚、虔诚。白涛的诗,颇具朴野之气,保持着原始的淳朴。在寻根问祖中,他获得了归属、认同,找到了回家的感觉,找寻回了自己的精神原乡。粗线条,大轮廓,写意笔法,绝不谨毛失貌。白涛的文化焦虑是显在的,来自不同方向的力,相排斥,相抗拒,化而为诗,形成作品内在的思想张力。

A Singer Speaking for the Nationality:On Bai Tao’s Long Notes and Short Songs

As a Mongolian poet,Bai Tao is a singer who speaks for his nationality consciously.He devotes not only full emotion,but also a rational cognition.Stood on Inner Mongolia grassland,his writing has the root.Mongolian history and culture are so profound that he is awed and looked up to,so the wild poet becomes meek,modest and pious.Bai Tao’s poems maintain the primitive simplicity.In the search for roots and progenitors,he obtains the attribution,identification,and finds the feeling of going home as well as his own spiritual hometown.The poems have broad lines,large outline and freehand brushwork.Bai Tao’s cultural anxiety is obvious.The forces from different directions repel and resist each other and are turned into poems,forming the inner ideological tension of the works.
