Features: The primary purpose of compiling this poetry anthology is openness and inclusivity. It focuses on the pioneering creations of renowned poets; selects works with artistic novelty from different trends; seeks out moving pieces by lesser-known authors. Against the backdrop of artistic pluralism in the new era, amidst the vast ocean of works, the editors meticulously categorize and refine, so much so that they rejoice and become lost in poetry, forgetting the poets themselves. Perhaps, a good poetry anthology is like a chain of pure gold connecting its pages, with each link, whether mined from any mountain or gathered by whom, possessing sufficient gold content. Its openness embraces a broad spectrum, not the product of a single school; its demand for quality is stringent, representing representative lines from diverse poetic perspectives. Due to the overwhelming volume of poetry—nearly 60,000 new poems published each year—great poems can only be passed down through anthologies. As an anthology of the new era, the editors believe it is an important collection of new poetry. In this age of poetic scarcity, those who pursue the essence of poetry will find solace for their souls here. And readers familiar with these poets will also rediscover some of them through this anthology, and give them a new "name."
