Features: The book is divided into two parts: Foreign and Chinese. In the section on the study of modernist poetry in foreign countries, the author focuses on the creative process of modernist poets, capturing their special handling of materials and themes, as well as their unique use of thought and expressive techniques. The author highlights the distinct artistic features of modernist poetry compared to traditional poetry, combining the spiritual and personal uniqueness of modernist poetry with representative works to provide a relatively specific, accurate, and clear interpretation. Additionally, the book collects a large number of poetic examples, most of which are quoted in full and accompanied by annotations, which are almost entirely written in poetic language. Subsequently, an analysis of meaning and artistic techniques is provided, giving the entire book a sense of the "poetry of poetry." As a specialized work that appeals to both the refined and the general audience, it achieves a certain theoretical level through "thinking" while also engaging readers with rich emotional depth, which is no easy feat. It is precisely in the integration of these two aspects that the author demonstrates his talent.
