《70岁日记》中的诗歌研究
摘要 《70岁日记》是梅·萨藤日记系列的其中一部，它记录了梅萨藤从1982年5月至1983年5月为期一年的生活。诗歌在《70岁日记中》频繁出现，独居时，她阅读诗歌也进行写作；与人交往时，诗歌是必不可少的途径和主题。诗歌记录了她对自然、友谊、衰老等的体会，也更新了她对死亡的认知。
本论文旨在通过对《70岁日记》的集中分析，尤其是通过梅·萨藤在其中阅读、写作甚至讨论过的诗歌作品的归纳分析，讨论诗与萨藤老年生活质量之间的关系，探究诗在联络人与自然、人与人之间的作用，思考一个身处老年的知性女士对衰老的反思、对生命的理解，以及诗在其中所体现出的老年学意义。
经过研究发现：诗歌是点梅萨藤老年生活的重要组成部分，她也将自己对老年生活的理解以诗歌的形式记录下来。并且，不同于60岁时候的自己，70岁的梅·萨藤珍视友谊，热爱自然，尤其衰老有了新的理解，她不再也不再害怕恐惧、绝望，而是更加积极勇敢地面对并乐在其中。
