摘要:李越在當代詩壇“80後”詩人中以擅寫長詩著稱。在《遠遊》之前已有長詩《慢》問世，其長詩在精神、結構與語言上有海子的“大詩”作風。李越的寫作有多方面的資源，其中包括中西方现代文學的功底、珞珈山詩歌傳統和存在主義哲學的專業素養。《遠遊》的主題之一為“勞作”，這個存在主義哲學的概念針對形而上學地、觀念化地把握世界之方式，其意在於提示詩人如何親身體會“大地”。借著對西北中國的鄉土和技術化的當代社會的敘述與想象，李越的精神“遠遊”，意在探尋生存之“真”。李越的寫作，在人與世界之關係、詩如何言說世界的議題上以及長詩的結構藝術方面，有啟示的意義。

Abstract: 

Among the "post-80s" contemporary Chinese poets, Li Yue is renowned for his long poems. Prior to A Long Journey (Yuan You), he had already published another long poem titled Slow (Man), which reflects the "great" style of Hai Zi in terms of spirit, structure, and language. LiYue drew his inspiration from multiple resources, including a deep foundation in both western and Chinesemodern literature, the poetry tradition of Mount Luojia, and a professional background in existential philosophy. One of the central themes of A Long Journey is "labor," an existential concept that critiques metaphysical and ideological understanding the world. The purpose is to encourage the poet to experience the "earth" firsthand. Through his depiction and imagination of rural life in Northwest China and the technologically advanced contemporary society, Li Yue's spiritual "journey" seeks the "truth" of existence. His writing offers significant insights into the relationship between humanity and the world, how poetry communicates with the world, and the structural artistry of long poems.
