Features: This book includes two types of articles. One category consists of English literary criticism and English literary teaching research articles, while the other category belongs to controversial articles related to English literary creation (or what is also referred to as English creative writing). Broadly speaking, the book is centered around the proposition "Humans live poetically on the earth," discussing both the eternal poetry embedded in classic literary works and the fresh poetry found in English writing assignments by Chinese students, revealing the necessity and possibility of discovering and creating poetry. In my opinion: Poetry lies in the process of caring, discovering, and creating. Poetry lies in caring. The poetry of literature lies in worldly concern and ultimate concern. Poetry lies in discovering. What we need to seek are perspectives that can penetrate literature, uncover its essence, and reveal its poetry. Poetry lies in creating. For a long time in China, practical English has been popular, while English literature has been a niche field. English literary creation (or what is also referred to as English creative writing) has been the coldest of the cold, rarely mentioned.
