Features: Some say: His poems are printed on the hearts of an entire generation of Chinese people. Others say: She has brought back many scattered readers for our poetry. Since July 1981, when Qilixiang (The Jasmine Garden) was published in Taiwan, Xi Murong's poems have touched the hearts of countless readers with their clear and sincere unique style. Even today, over the past decade, her three poetry collections—Qilixiang, Wuyuan de Qingchun (Innocent Youth), and Shigu Jiupian (Nine Poems of Time)—are still continuously republished. The number of readers and the depth of influence can be said to have set a record previously unprecedented in the contemporary poetry scene. This book combines her new works with her original poems, carefully arranged to present a complete picture to readers, making it the perfect gift for lovers of poetry. Shijian Caoyan (The Time Grassland) can be considered Xi Murong's most complete collection to date. It is divided into two parts—Yuesey Man Shan (Moonlight Fills the Mountains) and Bianguang Yingguang (Edge Light Shadows)—organized by time and theme, from her earliest works like Qilixiang, Wuyuan de Qingchun, and Shigu Jiupian to many newly published poems that have yet to be collected. Carefully arranged, it presents a complete picture to readers, making it the perfect gift for lovers of poetry.
