Feature of Chinese Poetry The Modern Poetry of China: Introduction “This collection is a gathering of poetry from China and its Diasporas. A reader unacquainted with any one part (or more, as is quite possibly the case) will find here a stepping-stone into a poetry culture that is not only distinguished by its extraordinary longevity and continuity (at least 2,500 years) but its extraordinary depth and breadth, in both subject matter and geographic reach. The inclusion of poets who write in English or other languages in Hongkong, Macau, Singapore, and non-Asian locations, indicates that the concept of Chinese-ness in poetry moves writers well beyond China and the Chinese language.” By Michael Martin Day Selection of Contemporary Chinese Poetry Edited by Inara Cedrins Matter over Mind— On Xi Chuan’s Poetry “Xi Chuan’s WHAT THE EAGLE SAYS, comes from the closing years of an astonishingly turbulent century in the history of Chinese poetry. In the years following the 1911 collapse of the last imperial dynasty, champions of “literary revolution”forcefully argued for literary expression in the vernacular. A New Poetry was to replace age-old classical forms whose rigidity and elitism were felt to thwart the development of a modern literature, and by implication of a modern society. ” by Maghiel van Crevel Close Shots and Distant Birds By Xi Chuan Translated by Inara Cedrins The Program By Sun Wenbo Translated by Maghiel van Crevel – – – – – – – – – – – – scroll of green mountains: a collection of poems in the manner of the Tang poet, Meng Jiao By Christopher Kelen – – – – – – – – – – – – Featured Book by Arthur Sze
