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. Low Flight is Liu Ligang's first poetry collection. It includes 105 poems written by the author since 1989. Liu Ligang tends to start from daily life and personal experiences, striving to find the magical reflections and projections of imagination in reality. His poems exhibit a simple, melancholic emotional texture and a composed demeanor under pressure, attempting to achieve a subtle balance between complexity and simplicity, enthusiasm and calmness, through his perceptions and reflections on themes such as love, death, and memory.
