Features: The third-generation poetry movement in China rose in the 1980s, with numerous factions and diverse schools. Although the vibrant poetry carnival of that era has passed, it is undeniable that the outstanding poets active in the 1980s indeed created poetic miracles. Their works have never been systematically and comprehensively compiled for publication. This volume showcases the exceptional poetic writing and linguistic marvels of ten poets, some already renowned and others still hidden from view. It is a record of a writer's thirteen-year journey with poetry. Zhu Wen has always regarded poetic writing as a primary means of self-education. Each quiet, composed poem constructs a complete and rich spiritual world of a poet. At the same time, this book is also a vivid, ongoing story about a person and poetry meeting by chance.
