2021 is fast approaching, and I've written a lot about modern poetry in the year. At the end of the year, I suddenly wanted to take stock of our poetry. In the poetry world, there is never a shortage of things that we cannot imagine. These may seem bizarre, but in the poetry world there is no sense of violation at all.
First, the most bizarre award
The 6th China Long Poetry Award, announced on November 15, 2021, Shi Shiran won the "New Talent Award" for "Spring Day, Yang Zonghai". However, the poem was not published publicly, and there is no news about it on the Internet. It was not until a full month later, that is, on December 16, 2021, that the "Han Poetry Promotion" public account launched this poem on the Internet, and there were two sections short.
Second, the most inadvertent plagiarism
The "famous poet" Reed Bank, the poem "Aesthetic Principles", turned out to be almost exactly the same as Zhang Moumou's "Wilderness", but changed "Gray Rabbit" to "Heavenly Machine" and "Desolate" to "Light". Reed Shore's response was that there might have been too much copy and paste, and I didn't know why it had happened. But this does not seem to be completely unintentional copy and paste, after all, two places have been deliberately changed.
Third, the most exaggerated advice
At the 7th Wuhan Poetry Festival, which opened on December 24, 2021, at the new book sharing meeting of "Powerful Poet" Yang Ke, the sharing guest, Zou Jianjun, a professor at Central China Normal University, suggested that Yang Ke's "Dadong Lake" should be engraved on a large stone on the edge of the East Lake and become an important cultural landscape. Such treatment, especially in modern poetry, is indeed extremely rare. Yang Ke's "Great East Lake", which is not posted here, has been written in the previous article.
Fourth, the wisest poet
This year, because of Jia Qianqian, modern poetry has once again become the object of ridicule. Of course, there must be poets who stand up and speak for Jia Qianqian. Peng Min, deputy director of the editorial department of poetry journal, is one, and so is "famous poet" Isha. Isha's poem "To the Fools" directly refers to those who oppose modern poetry as "fools." From this, Isha should be the "smartest" poet.
Fifth, the most peculiar subject matter
On November 11, 2021, China Poetry Network launched the article "New Song Weixin: New Era, New Media, New Poetry" by Li Shaojun, editor-in-chief of Poetry Journal. In this article, Li Shaojun pointed out three major themes of modern poetry writing in the future: thematic creation, ecological writing, and women's writing. Does this theme of "women's writing" require the majority of poets to write about women? According to Li Shaojun's explanation, it was found that the so-called "female writing" refers to the promising of female poets.
Sixth, the poet who is most unwilling to be lonely
Zhao Lihua, a "first-class writer", "famous poet", "famous artist", and "founder of pear blossom body", was "red" for a while more than ten years ago. However, this year, Zhao Lihua first fought for Zhao Ting and Chen Man, then cried out for Wang Lihong, and finally discussed for Teacher Song of Shanghai Aurora Vocational College, and also said the names of the students who reported them. Zhao Lihua is obviously a poet who is not willing to be lonely, and her position is very special, always standing against the majority of the people, this is "elite thinking"?
Seventh, the most difficult to understand behavior
Writing poetry, especially writing modern poetry, but also teaching? Yes, the "famous poet" Shang Zhongmin held a ceremony to accept Gao Ruodong as an apprentice. What does the master teach? What can students learn? Is there a secret to writing modern poetry? Perhaps, Shang Zhongmin's poem "Publication" published in "Chinese Dictionary" can illustrate a point: publishing poetry is to have a guide.
VIII. The Most Wronged Poet
Jia Qianqian is the most wronged poet this year, and it is estimated that some people will disapprove. Indeed, I didn't think she was wronged at first. But as I learned more about modern poetry, I found that there were too many poems that were more "bad" than she had written. Only Jia Qianqian has become the object of verbal criticism, while other poets are at peace, they should be published, and they should receive awards and awards. Jia Qianqian, is this still not wrong?
IX. The most frustrated poetry
With the conclusion of the Tenth National Congress of the Chinese Writers Association, the most frustrated poetry scene in history was born. Ji Di Ma jia and Gao Hongbo are no longer the vice chairmen of the Writers Association, and there is not a single poet among the vice chairmen of the Writers Association. Among the members of the presidium, there is only one "power poet" Yang Ke. Of the 164 individual national committee members, there are fewer than ten poets. The poetry world has been completely marginalized in the Writers Association, and as a poetry of the three major literary genres, it is indeed a bit embarrassing, whose responsibility is this?
This is what I found, the nine "most" in the poetry world in 2021, I did not make up ten. In fact, there are many strange events in the poetry world, not to mention ten, that is, a hundred can be enough. In our traditional culture, "nine" represents a lot of meanings, just use these nine, represent a lot of others. Anyway, the bizarre things in the poetry world cannot be said to be finished.
