On The Postmodern Features Of Bob Dylan’s Poems

Bob Dylan,as a poet with multiple cultural identities from the 1960 s,has had a profound impact on American literary history and culture.The lyrics created by him are profoundly and uniquely meaningful with aesthetic value.He was deeply influenced by the writers of the Beat Generation,and the deconstruction and absurdity of his poetry were similar to those of postmodernism.The time in his poetry is fragmented,the space is turbulent,the deconstructed writing makes his works lose the sense of history,and the heterogeneity of content and form highlight the mess of his spiritual world.The constant replacement of poet’s identities in political pursuit and religious beliefs also reflects the absurdity of the postmodern people without subjectivity and center.The use of collage,parody and montage in poetry is both postmodern skills and postmodern creative features: the whole of his collage shows a strange sense of suddenness and confusion giving people a kind of alienation aesthetic effect;he combines reality with fictional plot,completes the imitation of the reality and the existing text;the montage of Dylan’s poetry,whether he is conscious or unconscious,brings a narrative scattered aesthetic effect.Whether it is his postmodern life or his poetry,it echoes the characteristics of postmodernism disorder,centerless,themeless,and reflects the strong postmodernism characteristics.He reflects and thinks about the music and the form of poetry by keeping up with the essence of postmodern thought.Bob Dylan restores the connection between literature and music,giving a whole new meaning to postmodern literature and modern music.Dylan’s poetry blurs the boundaries between seriousness and banter,classics and the pop,and opens up a broad space for readers to interpret,imagine and criticize.
