A Peach Blossom: Lin Huiyin and Her Poems
by Lin Huiyin
About This Novel
Lin Huiyin's poems are very much like the buildings she designed - clear lines and tenderness, rigorous structure and flexible gestures. Reading her poems always makes people think of those ancient buildings with flying eaves, silently telling the thoughts of thousands of years. There are often shadows of flowers in her poems. In "A Peach Blossom", the "bright redness of a tree" actually becomes "a word spoken by spring", the dewdrops on the petals become "exquisite words", and the entire peach tree becomes a "smiling" woman, casting "a lively look" "consciously or unconsciously". When ordinary people look at flowers, they only see their color; when Lin Huiyin looks at flowers, he can see their structure, proportion and spatial relationship. When reading Lin Huiyin's poems, I always feel that there is a woman wearing a cheongsam standing between the pages, holding a pen in one hand and a measuring ruler in the other, walking calmly between the lines of poetry and the beams and columns. Her poetry is not a low chant in the boudoir, but a unique creation that combines the architect's rationality and the poet's sensibility, as well as her beautiful and strong life.
