Today, on a whim, who will publish the most works in poetry magazines in 2021? The Poetry Journal is "the only central poetry journal" on which to publish works should be every poet's dream. Some poets may not realize this dream for the rest of their lives. Some poets, on the other hand, may be commonplace when they publish their works in the Poetry Journal.
In 2021, who won the top spot in the Poetry Journal? I actually looked it up online. Of course, I just checked a few of the "famous poets" in my mind. It may not be accurate, and the results of this query can be explained by a fashionable word, that is, "according to incomplete statistics".
Lei Pingyang and Ji Di Ma jia were only once, which was a bit unexpected. After all, "first-class writer" Lei Pingyang and Li Shaojun, editor-in-chief of "Poetry Journal", but they wrote "Poetry Harvest" together. Ji Di Ma jia, on the other hand, was originally the vice chairman of the China Writers Association, and won many "international awards", which is a banner in the poetry world.
Secondary: 9 people
In 2021, there are many people who have appeared in the Poetry Journal twice. Yang Ke, Yang Biwei, Gao Kai, Reed An, Shi Shiran, Na Ye, Jing Danying, Ye Yanbin, Zhang Ergun, these are the "famous poets" I found. After Ji Di Maga was elected vice chairman of the Writers Association, Yang Ke is now a member of the presidium of the Chinese Writers Association and has become the banner of the poetry world.

Shi Shiran is a rising star in the poetry world, and is the winner of "China's Top Ten Female Poets" and the "Best New Talent Award of the Sixth China Long Poetry Award". Not only that, she is also the editor-in-chief of the Selected Poems of Chinese Women Poets. Those who can edit the selected poems are not ordinary "famous poets".
Three times: 5 people
In 2021, I found 5 authors who were featured in poetry magazines three times. In June, September and December 2021, Hainan (editor of Everyone Magazine of Yunnan People's Publishing House) published his works in Poetry Magazine three times. Tang Yangzong (vice president of the Chinese Poetry Society) published in the Poetry Journal in February, April and December, and Huang Libao (editor-in-chief of Chinese and Western Poetry Magazine) published his works in the Poetry Journal three times in May, June and December. An Qi (director of the editor-in-chief office of Writers Network) appeared in the Poetry Journal in April, June and December 2021, and Wang Erdong published his works in the Poetry Journal in May, July and December.

Interestingly, Hai Nan and Shi Shiran have many similarities, as if they are like shadows. They are all "China's Top Ten Female Poets", all won the "Sixth China Long Poetry Award", and both edited "Selected Poems of Chinese Women Poets". However, Hai Nan, who was originally the editor-in-chief of the Selected Poems of Chinese Women Poets, was finally replaced by Deputy Editor Shi Shiran. However, Hainan won the Sixth Lu Xun Literature Award (Poetry Award) in 2014, which is not an award that ordinary people can win.
Four times: Zhang Zhihao
The poet I found that the poet who published the most works in the Poetry Journal in 2021 was Zhang Zhihao. He appeared in poetry magazines in January, April, August and December 2021, that is, once a quarter, which is a bit "envious and jealous". As the executive editor of "Han Poetry", Zhang Zhihao can still be so prolific, which is really not easy.

The 2002 Chinese Poetry Award, the 2004 People's Literature Award, the 2011 October Poetry Award, the 2014 Poet of the Year Award, the 2016 Poetry Journal Chen Ziang Award, the 2018 Lu Xun Literature Award, and the 2021 October Literature Award Poetry Award are Zhang Zhihao's award records, which are also "envious and jealous".
Zhang Zhihao, along with Lei Pingyang and Li Shaojun, are also one of the few poets who are members of the National Committee of the Writers Association. Of course, Li Shaojun, as the editor-in-chief of the Poetry Journal, could not publish his works in the Poetry Journal, which was indeed a "big loss." However, as the saying goes, there must be gains and losses, and he is really not suitable for publishing works in the Poetry Journal.
But 2021, for Li Shaojun, is still a bumper harvest year. "Selected Poems" 2 times, "Chinese Poetry" 2 times, "Stars", "Shandong Literature", "Tibetan Literature", "Haiyan" 1 time each, no wonder he can sit in the position of editor-in-chief of "Poetry Journal", had to obey. However, the work "The Heart of Dunsheng Low Head" on the March 2021 "Haiyan" was published again in the December 2021 "Selected Poems", is there no problem of repeated publication in the poetry world?

The new year of 2022 has arrived, and I wonder which "famous poet" can become the person who has published the most works in the Poetry Journal? We'll see. However, the current "Poetry Journal" is no longer "the attention of all", and few people pay attention to it. From Zhang Zhihao's 4 works, the most downloaded on the knowledge network is only 6 times, it can be seen that the "Poetry Journal", which is not a core journal, has indeed become a "niche publication".
Therefore, whoever published the most works in the Poetry Journal in 2021 is estimated to be the only "boring person" like me who will check it. Who will be in 2022, I am afraid that not many people will care. Does it matter to us whose works he publishes in the Poetry Journal?
Note: The above statistics are only the results of my personal query, and they are definitely "incomplete statistics". If there is an omission, it is inevitable. But from this statistical result, it can also be seen that the current poetry world is indeed a boom. It seems that two issues of the Poetry Journal in January is not enough, it is better to issue three or four issues in January, so that we will have more "famous poets".
