Xinjiang Poetry
by Shen Wei
About This Novel
"Xinjiang Poems" selects Shen Wei's Xinjiang-themed poems from 1990 to 2015. These works demonstrate an immigrant poet's love for the frontier, his in-depth thinking about regionality, and his continuous improvement of poetic skills. His "comprehensive lyricism" integrates reality, history and imagination into one pot, coexisting with grandeur and subtlety, presenting a noon temperament that is forbearingly sad but not sad. Shen Wei's regional description is inward and outward at the same time, completing the dual liberation of "remoteness" and "forgetfulness" with "hybrid poetry". As some comments have pointed out: Shen Wei's poems cannot be reduced to frontier poems or new frontier poems. He is a person with a complex experience of survival, rather than a poet who abstractly describes a typed regional scenery.
