摘要

In terms of language and vision, John Quinn’s poetry may owe some of its factual simplicity and colloquial flavor to some of Robert Frost’s poems of ordinary human experience, capturing in creative ways the spirit of American places and spaces. The current essay deals with the literary cartography of Oregon that John Quinn undertakes in some of his poems in his collection, The Wolf Last Seen, in which place and space acquire the vivacity of living experience. The poems echo past stories in connection with new contexts and experiences that the author and subsequent generations of readers are bound to negotiate and re-create in the imagined community of art.
