The Second Volume of the Shu Criticism Series: the Turning Point of Avant-garde Poetry
by Jia Jian
About This Novel
An important mission of the avant-garde today is to cross the fog of history and become the stranger again. This book mainly focuses on the evolution of Chinese avant-garde poetry in the 1980s and 1990s and the two spiritual aspects of poetry in the 1990s. Starting from root-seeking poems and Haizi's cultural epic, the author explores how poetry conveys cultural reflection by transforming the concept of "tradition." Then it takes the poems of Wang Jiaxin, Ouyang Jianghe, Duoduo, Han Dong, Yu Jian, Zang Di, Zhang Zao, Xiao Kaiyu and others as examples to rethink the issue of "pure poetry/pure literature" and describe the "narrative" turn of poetry in the 1990s. The author intends to explore the transformation and differentiation process of avant-garde poetry in the 1980s and 1990s, and is more concerned about the differences and convergence of poetic consciousness in the two eras.
