This work argues that Kevin Hart's poetry has a close relationship　with western traditions and there are dual realities in Kevin Hart's poetic　space, and this space includes the elements of classicism, romanticism,modernisms(cubism,surrealism),dual tradition of theology (positive the-ology and negative theology), and French post-phenomenological thinking. The dual realities are testified to by some binary pairs in Hart's poetry: the concrete, conscious, definite, familiar, natural, phenomenal, physical,and positive standing side by side with the abstract, higher, ideal, in-definite, intellectual, metaphysical, negative, philosophical, surreal, transcendental, and unconscious. The latter are achieved from the former　through a process of transcending or going beyond, and the mediums be　tween the two poles of binary pairs are death, denial, denudation, deprivation, dying, idealisation, negation, rejection, transgression, transcendence,and transformation.
