More than a decade ago, in 2006 and 2007, some university professors really couldn't see the current situation of the poetry world, so they rated an "annual list of mediocre poems". These "mediocre poems" are all poetry works officially published by major publications, of course, the publication of this list is bound to cause great controversy. Since then, it has never been released again.
Last year, because of Jia Qianqian, I also wrote some articles on poetry. I have also been in contact with some "yong poems", so I have the idea of a "2021 annual list of yong poems". To be selected for the "List of Ordinary Poems", the conditions that must be met are the poems published in official journals in 2021. Therefore, although Jia Qianqian is "hot", her works cannot enter this list.
As you can see, this list is basically published after June 2021, and I didn't care too much about the previous poems. Therefore, this list, it is inevitable that there will be "lost pearls", which is caused by my limited personal ability, which is really sorry. This list hopes to play a role in throwing bricks and stones, and more people can participate.
Here is the "list of mediocre poems", not the "list of bad poems". These selected works are from the hands of "famous poets". Moreover, the text in this place, there is no ah urine ah or the like, it still looks very elegant. However, these poems have a common feature, that is, they are "not like poetry". Therefore, there is the saying "philistine poetry".
This list is written by one of the three essays, which is obviously biased. If someone is interested in the "list of mediocre poems" and can have many people participate in the selection, perhaps this list is more objective and fair. I don't know any of the authors on the list, let alone any "hatred", "revenge" and so on.
The purpose of this list of mediocre poems is to let more people know that our current poetry is "not like poetry" to what extent. And such poems can be published in "famous journals", is it such a poetic work that is now respected in the poetry world?
In this list, "Poetry Journal" made the list three times and became the "biggest winner". The Poetry Journal is "the only central poetry journal" and the works it publishes should represent the highest level of poetry. Two works of Renlin have been selected, and 2021 should be a harvest year for Renlin.
I hope that the release of this list will enable those "famous poets" and editors of "famous publications" to think about what kind of poetry is good poetry. If our poetry continues to be "mediocre" in this way, it is really "in the long run, poetry will not be poetry". This is not just a personal problem, but a problem that the entire poetry world should face.
Of course, whether it is good poetry or mediocre poetry, it is necessary to speak with works. If you post all ten works, it will take up too much space. Therefore, here are a few works to show. There is no standard for which works are displayed, but when you search for which works, you will show which one.
Literally, "Yong poems" are a bit like "Tang poems.". However, "Tang" is under the "mouth", and "Yong" is under the "use". On this point of difference, it seems to be the difference between Tang poetry and Yong poetry. Tang poetry has become a classic by word of mouth, while Yong poetry is only useful to some people.
