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 different views. Because of a greater focus on disputes and topics, many excellent poetic works were overlooked. This volume showcases ten poets with diverse styles, yet all of them demonstrate an extraordinary clarity and self-respect in their approach to practicing poetic language and space. Sleeping Dreams, Sleeping Dreams includes over 100 poems by Lan Lan, most of which are newly collected works by the author in recent years. Lan Lan's poetry is characterized by simplicity, keen sensitivity, and beautiful silence. This silence has become an internal spiritual standard, combined with her focused observation of things and her insight into human nature, which firmly roots her poetry in the earth—in a way, her natural voice seems to grow from the vast land: pure, clear, sorrowful, reminiscent of eyes that have endured life's hardships yet remain free of resentment. Lan Lan's poetry shows that imagination and emotion can reconstruct a sweet and fresh reality; in such an elevated everyday life, the touchable soul retains worldly warmth and a soft texture—or, as Lan Lan herself says, this poetry collection is a love letter to the world.
