Since the release of the "Overview of the Core Periodicals of Chinese" in 1992, the "Poetry Journal", which is known as "the only central poetry journal", has been among them. Indeed, they are all "central-level" journals, can they still not be core journals? However, in 2018, Poetry Was Kicked Out of the Core Journal. In 2021, the latest edition of the "Chinese Core Journals Overview" still does not have a "Poetry Journal".
What has poetry been busy with in recent years, which has been kicked out of the core journal? Are you reflecting, then improving, and hoping to return to the core journals as soon as possible? It should be so, and the Poetry Journal is indeed very busy, and has been busy with a lot of things in recent years. But how effective? The fact that poetry is still absent from the latest edition of the core journal catalog may illustrate the problem.
New Red Face Writing
On March 1, 2011, the "New Red Face Writing Poetry Archive" edited by Li Shaojun, Zhang Deming and Fu Li was published by Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House. "New Red Face Writing" has become a new "resounding symbol", and Li Shaojun, who has become the editor-in-chief of the "Poetry Journal", is still vigorously promoting "New Red Face Writing". He also specifically explained that in the new era, the "subject matter" of women's writing has a lot of potential.
Where is the "new" of this new red face writing? Why not call it "New Women Writing" but "New Red Face"? After all, women are too broad, and this name lacks poetry. How good is the red face? Confidant with a red face. Moreover, the word "red face" is very poetic when you hear it. And it's a "new" red face, which is even more poetic.
"Poetry Journal" has launched a lot of "new red face" poems, which can be regarded as a beautiful color in the poetry world. However, these "new red face" poems do not seem to be very "new", but have attracted many people's questions. "Poetry Journal" attaches so much importance to "new red face writing", then will those male poets have some imbalance in their hearts?
Come and read the poems and read the Poetry Journal together
On September 24, 2021, Poetry Journal decided to cooperate with a hand platform to launch a poetry recitation activity of "Come and Read Poetry, Read Poetry Together". The purpose of this is to make poetry into the masses, into daily life, into the streets, fields, schools, factories and mines, barracks, fields, parks and office buildings!
This is a good idea, and the effect is said to be "obvious". However, the end result is that since only the poems in the Poetry Journal can be read, the participants are mainly the authors of the Poetry Journal. This also reflects the embarrassment of the "Poetry Journal" from the side, not the author of the "Poetry Journal", how many people will read the poems of the "Poetry Journal"?
Poetic red, express delivery poetry
Every year' double eleven is the busiest time for the courier brother. On This year's Double Eleven, Poetry Journal and Jingdong Logistics launched the "Poetic Red Movement", a courier brother to send poetry activities. While letting the fruits of logistics development benefit more people, we will also let poetry go to the public, enter thousands of households, give poetry to life, and contribute new forces to promoting the development of socialist culture and social and economic prosperity.
The idea is still good, but how effective is it? For example, when I received the courier, I found a poem printed on the box. If you like this poem, you still think it is a surprise, and if you don't like this poem, you are afraid that it is "frightened". Therefore, the quality of the poem is the key, and whether it is sent or not is secondary.
Write poems for League of Legends
On November 7 of this year, an inexplicable noise resounded throughout the campus, and I thought it was a large-scale clash of students. Later, I learned that it was EDG that won the championship. What kind of crown did you win? It's like a game competition. I don't know anything about this, which means that I am really old. However, the "Poetry Journal" held a call for papers in a timely manner and wrote a "heroic epic".
For the game, many parents are "deeply disgusted". But this time, the publicity of winning the championship is so big that it is beyond the imagination of many people. Is this to justify the name of the game? And what does such a game have to do with the "heroic epic"? "Heroes" shouldn't look like this. The "Poetry Journal" has ended, and judging from the selected works, it can only be said that this kind of raw and hard "lalang match" is difficult to have a happy ending.
"Poetry Journal" is indeed very busy, and Li Shaojun is indeed very tired. After all, as the editor-in-chief of the "only central poetry journal" and "the only central poetry journal", there are too many things to carry. In order to "poetically" enter thousands of households, "Poetry Journal" really moved some brains. But this is all "end", and "ben" is the quality of poetry. As long as the quality of the poem goes up, these forms are actually gimmicks and superfluous. If the quality of the poem does not go up, how many tricks you do, it is useless.
