Abstract

As a famous poet of the contemporary British literary world, Don Paterson excels at applying Twa-in-yin to his creative skills, making his poems quickly gained wide acceptance. Taking Landing Lights as an example, Paterson has mingled various traditions, as they are represented by the metaphorical thread, Dante’s Inferno and Plath’s suicide, with his parenting experiences. Paterson brilliantly combines the reality of educating twin sons with the literary tradition in the deeper level, reflecting a positive family education ethics. The analysis of parenting poems in this work not only adds reading interest to readers, but also enhances the social function of poetry from the perspective of parenting.
