A fusion of Zen and philosophy, classic and modern poetry: the essence of the poetry of Zhou Mengdie, a major Chinese poet…
Zhou Mengdie, a contemporary of Yu Guangzhong and Luo Fu, is one of the most important Chinese-language poets. His poetry often draws on allusions. His early poems are imbued with Zen and speculative thought, their language concise and clean. In his later years, his poetry focused more on everyday life, shifting towards a more lifelike style.
Zhou Mengdie left behind over 300 poems, 66 of which are selected in this book. These include his early masterpieces, "The Country of Loneliness" and "Resurrection Grass," as well as "Walking to the End of the Water" and "On the Ferry," which express the poet's critical thinking, and "I Choose," a tribute to Wislawa Szymborska in his later years, showcasing the poet's evolving style throughout his life.
