The Sensory World, Kennedy Poetry

This paper tries to cast a ray of sensational light on Yu Jian's poems from different sensational perspectives and thus approach the poet in the world of "fondling".The paper mainly consists of three parts, each of which seeks the sensationalsystem of Yu Jian's poems respectively at the angles of eyes—sight, ears—hearing, andthe whole body—feeling, enriches the three parts by studying and judging his works,and strives to shape the sensational world constructed by his poems.Chapter One, at the angle of eyes and sight, examines the function of the sense of sight in Yu Jian's writing and his hence formed unique style. People will observe things from different points of view. YU Jian, with his identity of "outsider", is destined to stand "in the distance" and cast an eye on things. All things on earth, equal in Yu Jian's eyes, sparkle with distinctive poetry brightness on the same platform of freedom, and by now things and ego have reached a state of "forgetting each other" and "incorporating each other". The expression in one's eyes directly reflects his/her inner being. The leaping expression in Yu Jian's eyes not only manifests the shift of his creating focus but also reveals his poet nature.Chapter Two emphatically discusses the role of the sense of hearing and the sound that stimulates the sense of hearing in Yu Jian's poems. "Hearing" is not necessarily just connected with ears or audio frequency. The poet use open sense organs to sense the existence of sound despite the fact that it is too subtle to be caught by ears. The voice from his mouth sounds strange, however, Yu Jian always insists on his bounden duty that he speaks "with his own tongue". His poems also present his particularities in the property, source, tone and stream of sound, such as from the below, lowering, indefinite direction and so on. Although his male identity is an issue behind "sense", he, as a male poet, will voice his instinctive "male sound". Therefore, this paper expatiates on why and how to voice such a sound and what in detail the sound is.
