Features: This is a series of prose collections written entirely by poets (foreign). The publication of this series is based on the idea that among the writing community, poets are a significant and special group. Their way of thinking, linguistic composition, writing stance, and perceptions of life and things all bear the distinctive imprint of poetry. Many poets, in addition to poetry, have written a large volume of essays, sketches, literary critiques, biographies, and even novels, such as Goethe, Pushkin, Edgar Allan Poe, Baudelaire, T.S. Eliot, Yeats, and Borges. Their prose works differ greatly from those of non-poet writers and can be termed "another form of writing." Thus, compiling such a series of writings not only holds documentary value but also carries significance in research, aesthetics, appreciation, and other aspects.
