Abstract
The article focuses on the most elaborate of Paula Meehan's ‘Greek’ poems, ‘Flight JIK Olympic Airlines 016 to Ikaria, Greece’ (Painting Rain, 2009), inspired by her journey to Ikaria, in the framework of travel writing and ecocriticism. By transforming the matrix of W. H. Auden's ‘Musée des Beaux Arts’, and by representing a specific case of ecopoetry, Meehan's text challenges the precepts of footsteps and vertical travel genres. The comparison between the two poems has been contextualized by the Irish poet's environmental, political and artistic concerns, as well as her other poems, essays and travels in Greece.
本文聚焦于Paula Meehan最精致的“希腊”诗歌，“飞往希腊伊卡利亚岛的JIK奥林匹克航空016航班”(2009年，绘画雨)，灵感来自于她在伊卡利亚岛的旅行，在旅行写作和生态批评的框架内。通过改变w·h·奥登的“mus des Beaux Arts”的矩阵，并通过代表生态诗歌的具体案例，Meehan的文本挑战了脚步和垂直旅行类型的戒律。这两首诗的比较是由这位爱尔兰诗人对环境、政治和艺术的关注以及她在希腊的其他诗歌、散文和旅行所构成的。
