The China Poetry Network, sponsored by Poetry Journal, released the 9th issue of Poetry Weekly, and a total of 12 poems were selected. I looked at the 12 poets, and the only one who had a slight impression was satin lightly. Because I had written an article before, as if it had involved her.

The reason why it involves satin lightly is because she is called a "genius poet". "In my reading experience, it is probably the first time I have met a poet who is 'natural' and 'blended' like lightness." I didn't say this, it was the "famous poet" Chen Xianfa who said it.
Since it is such a rare "genius poet", how can you care about it? This issue of Poetry Weekly just happened to select the satin light "Newborn Sparrow", so it must be taken out and seen.

To be honest, this poem, like most modern poems now, is not very easy to understand. How did spring green turn into sparrows? Sparrows aren't green, huh? How could a sparrow's thin claws skim across a river? Sparrows don't peck at bamboo tubes either. If you change it to swallows, it is better to understand, after all, the return of swallows represents the arrival of spring, and there is also the saying that swallows play in the water.
Of course, the poems of the "genius poet" should not be understood by ordinary people, and it must also be understood by "geniuses". Fortunately, "Poetry Weekly" is very intimate, and it is estimated that the average person cannot read it, so it is attached with the comments of "famous poets". The expert of this issue is Li Yun.

"The Shaping of the Poet's Image in Poetry and the Beneficial Grasp of Writing from the Perspective of Children", which is the title of Li Yun's comment. To be honest, on this topic, it is not easy to read smoothly. I was not interested in anything else, and directly looked for Li Yun's comments on the song "The Newborn Sparrow".
However, a little disappointed, Li Yun's comments on the poem are very short, only 34 words, that is, punctuation marks, and only 45. "'The Newborn Sparrow' is viewed from the perspective of a child, the 'newborn' life (sparrow) to the doom (the hunter), revealing the ferocity of the situation."

As for where the poem's "heterogeneity", "funny machine edge" and "lively sense" are expressed, Li Yun did not point it out. I went back and read the poem satin lightly, and still did not understand this. On the contrary, I feel that the sentence "He is like God has never left an outcast", how to read it is a bit awkward.
I do feel a little ashamed to write this. Such a poem by a "genius poet", and the guidance of a "famous poet", I still can't understand the mystery of it, you say, what else do I write about poetry? This is completely out of the door!

Obviously, this is not a problem of Satin, Chen Xianfa, and Li Yun, but only my problem. Born in Anhui Province, Satin began publishing works at the age of 14 and won the 11th Ding Ling Literature Award New Talent Award (poetry category) in 2020. Chen Xianfa is the editor-in-chief and vice president of the Anhui Branch of Xinhua News Agency, the chairman of the Anhui Provincial Federation of Literature and Literature, a member of the 10th National Committee of the China Writers Association, and the deputy director of the Poetry Committee of the China Writers Association. Li Yun is the secretary general of the Anhui Writers Association and the editor-in-chief of Poetry Monthly.
So, they are either "geniuses" or "famous poets", can they still be wrong? The wrong one is definitely me. I can't comprehend the mysteries of their poems, I can't see the "innocence" in the poems, I can't even read their poetry reviews, I can only say that my level is really too different from them.

When the article was written here, I suddenly found that Satin Light, Chen Xianfa and Li Yun were all from Anhui, which was also too coincidental, right? However, this is not a big deal, Li Shaojun, Liu Nian, and Peng Min of the Poetry Journal are still hunan people. However, the "innocence" in this "newborn sparrow" in satin lightly, I really haven't read it, and I can't have the word "newborn" even if it is innocence, right? So simple and obvious, that is not "genius" at all?
