Features: In the 1990s, a large number of foreign literary works were introduced to China, bridging Chinese literature with world literature and giving rise to many outstanding poets. Due to the collision and debate of literary concepts, people held firm to their own views. Because of the greater focus on disputes and topics, many excellent poetic works were overlooked among them. The ten poets featured in this volume have diverse styles, but at the same time, one can glimpse their extraordinary clarity and self-respect in practicing poetic language and space. Ladder of Time is Pu Min's first poetry collection, compiling his main poems from 1986 to 2002. Pu Min's unique poetic world stems from his distinctive taste and interpretation of life. He remains outside the poetic circle, immersed in life beneath the surface, singing for himself; his expression is simple, clear, and direct, and for a more authentic expression, he is not afraid to break the perfection and completeness of poetry. Pu Min's poetry effectively inserts itself into the world and presents its intrinsic essence.
