Feature of Chinese Poetry

The Modern Poetry of China:Introduction
“This collection is a gathering of poetry from China and itsDiasporas. A reader unacquainted with any one part (or more, as is quitepossibly the case) will find here a stepping-stone into a poetry culturethat is not only distinguished by its extraordinary longevity andcontinuity (at least 2,500 years) but its extraordinary depth andbreadth, in both subject matter and geographic reach. The inclusion ofpoets who write in English or other languages in Hongkong, Macau,Singapore, and non-Asian locations, indicates that the concept ofChinese-ness in poetry moves writers well beyond China and the Chineselanguage.”
By Michael Martin Day

Matter over Mind—
On Xi Chuan’sPoetry
“Xi Chuan’s WHAT THE EAGLE SAYS, comes from theclosing years of an astonishingly turbulent century in the history ofChinese poetry. In the years following the 1911 collapse of the lastimperial dynasty, champions of “literary revolution”forcefullyargued for literary expression in the vernacular. A New Poetry was toreplace age-old classical forms whose rigidity and elitism were felt tothwart the development of a modern literature, and by implication of amodern society. ” by Maghiel van Crevel
