ABSTRACT This article examines the poetry and thinking of Robert Bringhurst, a 21st-century Canadian humanist who denounces the depletion of natural resources and environmental degradation brought about by the practices of postcapitalism and neo-liberalism in highly industrialized societies. More specifically, it examines two poems from a sequence entitled “The Living” included in his Selected Poems (2009), “The Living Must Never Outnumber the Dead” and “At Last”, remarkable lyric specimens that testify to Bringhurst’s profound ecological concerns and commitment to writing poetry that addresses the more-than-human world. When reading his intellectually demanding poems and essays, the reader cannot help noticing how an ontology of humility seems to flourish suddenly. Bringhurst’s biocentric poetics invites humans to rethink their place in the cosmos and to recover an awareness of the deep link pervading all living forms if they are to make the Earth a liveable place.

超人类世界的脆弱性：罗伯特·布林赫斯特诗歌中的生态意识

摘要 本文考察了 21 世纪加拿大人文主义者罗伯特·布林赫斯特的诗歌和思想，他谴责高度工业化社会中后资本主义和新自由主义的做法所带来的自然资源枯竭和环境退化。更具体地说，它检查了收录在他的诗选 (2009) 中的题为“生者”的序列中的两首诗，“生者绝不能超过死者”和“终于”，这些非凡的抒情样本证明了Bringhurst 深刻的生态问题和致力于写出超越人类世界的诗歌。在阅读他对智力要求很高的诗歌和散文时，读者不禁注意到谦逊的本体论似乎突然蓬勃发展。
