Answer the same questions from young poets 丨 new forces

One generation has a generation of poets, and one generation has a new style of poetry. What overall appearance of the survival and creation of young poets now? How do they deal with the relationship between the internal poet logo and the external social identity? What do they think about the creation of the same generation, the inheritance of poetry and innovation? Recently, Taibai Literature and Art Publishing House's works of Ma Zeping, Yang Biwei, Mai Dou, Li Zhuang, Xiong Man, Kang Xue, and Lin Shan were integrated in the name of "Bohua Poetry Cong". The living environment of the 7 poets is very different, the poems are different, or they are flat and daily, or lively and humorous, or they focus on philosophy, or bold pioneers. The spiritual temperament. In this issue, "new power" specially invited 7 poets to "answer the same questions" on the question of poetry, hoping to see the unique and lively faces of contemporary young writers and people.

—— editor

The poet's responsibility is to express "special"

Do you think the identity of the poet is special? Do parents know your poet's identity, and do they support it? Are you all right?

■ Ma Zeping: There is a sentence in "Cai Gen Tan": "The fat is not true, the true taste is just light; the magical is not the same, and the people are just often." I was a poet outside. My parents didn't know at first, and now they know, but they still don't understand what the poet is doing. Parents are farmers. They do n’t have much culture. They do n’t care or read my work. As for whether it is good or not, I personally think that it depends on the mentality, but also depends on the understanding and positioning of poetry and life. If this understanding or positioning has a deviation, such as the wrong point is that poetry is the whole of life, and even for devoted poetry to poetry. And deviating life, it must have no happiness.

■ Yang Biwei: I think the difference between the poet and others is mainly in the heart. The inner things will continue to show the spiritual temperament of the current people. Some of the older poets are more obvious. My parents read my poems and read others' poems. My parents gave me a lot of room for development. You have to ask me if I live well now, it should be said that it is not bad. But these are not important for me. I only care about my writing, and I care about whether I can write better works in the future, especially poetry.

■ Mai Doudou: My life, like most office workers, basically go back and forth at home and units. My family knows that I write poems and some people support and read me, but no one opposes me. In my life, I am not used to calling me poet. My understanding of the poet is that the poet is just someone who likes to think and uses words to express his inner heart. There is nothing special about the poet, but it is more sensitive to the outside world. In the past two years, except for working hours, I have basically been reading, thinking and writing.

■ Xiong Man: Special is not special. Special because writing makes me look at the angle of things diverse and tolerant. At the same time, I am not a particularly rigid and boring person. The poet must live in an appropriate amount of innocence, nature and love in order to create. Not particularly because my daily life is almost the same as that of the "post -80s". My parents are not the kind of person who is good at expressing. They did not explicitly support or oppose my poems, but they would secretly read my poems. Seeing my works published and published, I will also be happy for me. Forwarding in the circle of friends is also a silent support.

■ Kang Xue: My parents know that I write a poem, and I will forward my poems. They will publish or win the prize for me, but I know they rarely read my poems. This is pretty as I wish. I really don't want them to read poetry. Parents are easy to worry about their children. Extraordinary young poets may have lived well, or vice versa. And I am a more moderate type.

■ Lin Shan: In the crowd, I always want to be the ordinary one. My life is relatively simple, work, life, reading, and writing. My parents knew that I wrote poetry late. So far, they have not seen any collection of poems. I think writing poems is relatively hidden.

■ Li Zhuang: Of course, the poet is special, because each occupation and each person as an individual are special. What the poet must do is to write themselves and others' "special" instead of performing as a posture. Most of the people who deliberately write the poet's identity or the image of the poet on the face with my experience are more suspicious. The "special" of the real confidence is often secret. As for daily life, my career is directly related to literature, but in fact, the form of life is not much different from others. My parents and relatives know that I write poems, and they all support them. They will read my poems, and they will also read the literary reviews I write. I have a good life. Most of my friends who write poems around me are pretty good. After all, almost no one around me will choose to "produce full -time writing poems." In my opinion, the "poet" is a "life identity", and the life relies on "survival status". The two do not reject each other and often help each other. It is not only possible to deal with the relationship between "art" and "life".

Poet's self -examination and reflection

"Bohua Poetry Cong" includes 7 collection of poems. What does this collection of poems mean to you? How was the work in the final collection of poems?

■ Ma Zeping: "Shangwan Note" is my second collection of poems. Compared with the first poem collection, "Shangwan Note" is relatively mature. It should be regarded as a sign of my writing to mature. The poems contained in "Shangwan Note" are mostly written when I live in Beijing in recent years. It reflects another perspective: jumping out of his hometown to examine his hometown. When the collection is collected, it does not take much time to choose which poems. I use the method of reading to make a choice. If you feel blushing when you read again, then this poem is not significant. ■ Yang Biwei: In 2016, I published the first collection of poems. At that time, I ran three. When the book was published, I knew that I got a certain sense of affirmation, but in fact there was no excitement. One is because I can objectively treat writing. As long as I persist, the book will be successful. Pay attention to the problems in my own writing and find a method of adjusting. The publishing of a collection of poems means that the poet first means affirmation. Secondly, it may also be a mirror that allows people to review their writing, discover problems and try to solve it. Most of the poems in this episode were written after 2016. When I chose it, I was roughly divided into three categories, words, lyrics, and travel. They are the basic types of Chinese poetry. Of course, these poems are crossing each other and cannot be mechanically separated.

■ Mai Doudou: Compared with my previous works, the poems contained in the new poems have new attempts in writing and language. Here, I would like to thank Teacher Huo Junming in the general order of the series: "The shape of the shape of wheat bean poetry is becoming more and more prominent. This is one of the signs of a poet's gradually mature." I think the publishing of a collection of poems, To the author means self -examination and reflection, it is a good opportunity for self -transformation. The works in this collection of income are chosen by readers I trusted, all of which are poetry I wrote in 2020. There are two small emotions when choosing the work. One is that the poems that they think are good, and the reader does not recognize it; the other is that when it is just written, it feels good, but it feels bad when reading again. These two points have made me reflect on my poetry writing.

■ Xiong Man: "Surgery Night" is my second collection of poems and a summary of the previous writing. There will be comparison and choice when sorting out the poem, and you need to review and judge the creation again, mainly for quality judgment and value judgment. In addition, I found that some works could be written locally at the time, but now they can't be written. Other works, now I may change the entry point and expression, which is interesting.

■ Kang Xue: "The Deloors" is my second collection of poems. Compared with "Back to a Apple Flower" published 3 years ago, it has more traces of "crushing" by life. To be honest, I am very embarrassed. Although I assembled the work and provided a better review of my creative review and sorting out in recent years, because of this, all the problems in my poetry creation were all exposed. This made me feel false. I think that as a mature poet, I still have less poems. However, young poets really need some opportunities to improve our creation and even dilemma. In short, be careful, the publishing of a collection of poems, for poets who have not yet become a climate, are the double -edged swords that are not very balanced. I chose almost all the works in the past three years. Because I don't want to repeat with the first poems, and there are not many poetry written in the past three years, there is almost no choice of choice. The experience summary is that you must have enough confidence to consider the collection of poems.

■ Lin Shan: More than 140 poems in this collection of poems are works from 2019 to 2021. This collection of poems is the third collection of poems I published, and the previous two were published in a separate form. It is the first time for me to publish in the book. This feeling is like a lonely traveler. On the way, I suddenly met a few like -minded friends.

■ Li Zhuang: This is my second collection of poems. The first collection of poems "Midnight Platform" is one of the "Jiejian Poetry", which is included in the ultra -short poems ("cut sentences") within the four lines, which has the color of "directional creative practice". Therefore, this "Li Zhuang is sitting on the bridge tower" is actually equivalent to my first personal poem collection of "comprehensive" or "traditional meaning". This means that this is the first time I systematically sorted out and showed the poetic creation process of my travel to this day (to be "at the end of 2020"). Correspondingly, the time span of the works in my poems is quite large, spanning for 10 years. I chose the poems by me, and he hesitated at the time. Should I include the "less masterpieces" of those school days? Honestly, most of the "less masterpieces" I am not satisfied today, but in the end I received some of them. In fact, if you look closely, the works in this collection of poems are indeed different in style and level. Some works are obviously very green, and even with a "apprentice atmosphere". But I think the "traces" are valuable. Moreover, some kind of "naive" in the works of youth are often preserved in their first "conventional poetry collection".

Poetry is best "cold but not frozen, hot on the point"

The topic of public communication of poetry has been hot in recent years. On the one hand, the share of poetry and even the entire pure literature in the current public cultural life is not large. On the other hand, poetry publication and activities have been prosperous in recent years, and "hot topics" in the field of poetry sometimes appear. In your opinion, is it "cold" or "hot" better now? ■ Ma Zeping: Both "cold" and "heat" are not good, both tend to be a pathological atmosphere. If you have to choose one from it, then I choose "cold". The good poetry creative environment should be calm. Some people are concentrated in writing. Essence

■ Yang Biwei: From the perspective of poetry, it is "hot", and it has always been "hot". The way poets are different from novelists. But from the external environment, in the lives of the public, poetry is actually very "cold". I think this state is very good now. As long as the internal poetry is "hot", this style will continue to develop. As for the larger "heat", it is not possible to meet. When there is no "heat" opportunity, let it go. Poetry is like this, and so is other things. There is no need to twist. The important thing is to write well and do well.

■ Mai Doudou: As a language art, poetry, in any time, I think it is all in the edge. But I don't think poetry will be too "cold". This "edge" is likely to be the most "advanced" place in art. In recent years, the "hot spots of poetry" have not been concerned about the language itself, but the people who have nothing to do with poetry. I believe that there are always some poets studying the true poetic language. These people are not fame and fortune, just for pure interest. Poetry writing, knowing cold and warm, unnecessary good or bad.

■ Xiong Man: Poetry is always there, it is always "the bright pearl in the hall of literature". Regardless of what happened or news, no matter what the outside world views poetry. Poetry itself is not complicated, it is a dance of individual souls. The complicated is people, which are all kinds of desires generated by poetry.

■ Kang Xue: The current poetry is a typical "cold inside heat". Personally, the poetic environment created by contemporary poets can be colder, and it is definitely good to remove some surfaces and poetry itself. On the outside world, of course, I hope that it will be hotter, and poetry deserves attention and feelings of more people.

■ Lin Shan: Poetry writing is lonely and quiet for individuals. But for a era, "cold" and "hot" each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

■ Li Zhuang: Cold and cold are relative. Today, literature and poetry in the position of social and cultural life are indeed not as "centered" that year. This is inevitable. It shows that there is progress in society and improved cultural productivity. You can watch movies, brush dramas, play Douyin, play games ... It's not that eggs are not as good as before, but more of eggs. Moreover, there are many bubbles in the lively place, and sometimes it is more pure to cool down, which can exclude many unnecessary noise interference. "Cold" in this sense is harmless, benign, and "preservation". As for "hot", the "heat" of poetry gossip and even poetry public opinion often has little to do with the poetry itself. There are more people who listen to poetry lectures (or participate in poetry public welfare activities), read poetry, write poetry, understand poetry and respect poetry. One words: The ideal state is "cold but not frozen, hot on the spot".

In the long river of time, be the same generation

Your common identity is "youth poet". Are you "the same generation"? Looking at the "writing of the contemporary" in a broad sense, are you satisfied with the overall situation of the current young poetry creation?

■ Ma Zeping: If the time span is judged, we are a generation, but in many aspects, we are not like a generation. I am relatively satisfied with the overall situation of the current young poetry creation. Many of the impressive poets have emerged. Of course, there are many places that need to be improved, but no one can deny that some of us have already. It presents some mature weather in his own writing.

■ Yang Biwei: In the long river of time, we are of course contemporary. In addition to writing poems, writing prose, and doing poetry research and criticism, I have been reading works of the same generation. I am more appreciated with the current young poetry creation. In a whole imagination, I saw different directions and different cultivation. There are both mature and stable, and vibrant. In general, I have learned a lot from the writing of the contemporary people.

■ Mai Doudou: In my knowledge, the poet has no time and space restrictions. All the poets write the same world, the eternal world. But people live in "time" after all. Occasionally, I saw the poems of some foreign poets abroad, and I felt that the text was very different. This often makes me reflect on poetry writing. As a universal poetry text, exist? If it exists, what is the relationship with time and space?

■ Xiong Man: One fact is that the "post -80s" have already ran four or are about to run four. The young poet is not young. In my impression, young poetry creation is not large. On the one hand, because young people are busy with work and life, the time for creation is limited. On the other hand, because of the development of society, although there are many people who write branches, there are not many poets, and poetry has been misunderstood as much as possible. Young poetry requires the excavation and encouragement of the outside world.

■ Kang Xue: I am "early 90", but I rarely think of which friends are from which age. I am not satisfied with the current young poetry creation. In the Internet age, the starting point is high, but it is not easy to judge how good it is. You can only look at the development of young poets and young poetry, and time will be presented one by one. ■ Lin Shan: In general, people in each era have individual differences, which may be related to the background and environment of the growth era.

■ Li Zhuang: Of course it is considered to be the same. The experience structure of the times can change once or even five years, but the value structure and spiritual structure are much more stable. I feel that the "post -70s" down from the "post -90s" can be regarded as "the same generation": the process of urbanization, the trend of globalization, and the tide of market economy ... The era of brutal growth and vitality will create similar value Structure and spiritual structure background; the problems we think and the way of thinking are often closer. The younger generation is not easy to say. As for "writing in the past", I personally have a small and sharp dissatisfaction in the overall satisfaction. The point of satisfaction is the high starting point and the starting point; the point of dissatisfaction, one is "homogeneous risk", and the other is "persistent" and the "persistence" is suspected -many of my colleagues seem to lack "a stupid thing to do it. In the end, I am afraid that they will "write out".

The ideal "new power of poetry" is to be given birth

In your eyes, what are the most important intergenerational art characteristics of the current "new power of poetry"? What kind of poetic characteristics do you most hope to see in your colleagues, or what you can do most?

■ Ma Zeping: Diversified. The subject matter, technique, trendy trend, etc., in the range that can be available in my field of vision, all show diversified weather. What I want to write most is the kind of calm, neutralized, and deep work. This may be more vague. In other words, I hope to write a poem like Mr. Hu Xian's "Empty Stairs".

■ Yang Biwei: I thought several words. For example, inheritance, I think that in the entire new poem sequence, the "new power of poetry" does not actually have so -called breaks. However, the inheritance is not accurate, because this concept has some universality. So use "rhetoric" to identify. Compared with his predecessors, the new generation of poets generally pay more attention to rhetoric and techniques. Of course, our predecessors also play rhetoric, but not many, and there are many more poets in the new generation.

■ Mai Doudou: Different worldview. The new generation of poets, their vision is wider than those of any era. The convenient information network and global integrated life practice have prepared various possibilities for their creative depth and breadth. Specific to my own poetic writing, I hope to write a text with universality and the same sex on the basis of respecting differences and reality.

■ Xiong Man: I like the poems that reflect the reality in the language that is fresh, restrained and easy to enter, is what I like.

■ Kang Xue: Not only the present, not only poetry, I think that the essence of any literature and any art should be "true, good and beautiful" since ancient times. Although these three words are conceptual, it is universal for creation.

■ Lin Shan: The poems I most hope to see are sincere and impressive.

■ Li Zhuang: A sentence appears in my mind, in fact, it is also an action: "Double Blade Sword of Handheld Technology". I think the obvious highlights of this generation of young poets lies in the maturity of technology (after all, we stand on the shoulders of the giants); what is worth alert is that don't "be too mature" or "only technical". Relying on "good technology" can become "80 points artists"; but artists who want to be "90 points" or even "99 points" depend on great hearts. This is applicable to poetry novels or all other categories. In fact, this has also answered the latter question: My ideal poetry is to have a great heart and have enough technical ability to express it.

The popularity of poetry and poetry education are still far away

This year's college entrance examination Chinese volume, composition can choose poetry style. What do you think of this? How to look at the current poetry education and social poetry soil?

■ Ma Zeping: I seem to have the right to speak, and I seem to have no say. The saying of saying is because the composition of the year of my middle school entrance examination was based on the title of "friend", and the theme of poetry was selected. I wrote poetry at the time. I said that I did n’t speak because I basically could n’t write well. I preferred the sky.

■ Yang Biwei: From the long run, poetry genre is accepted by the college entrance examination composition, which is the progress of literary concepts. But in a short period of time, I am worried that the scroll teacher may not have qualified new poem reading skills, and their understanding of the new poem will directly affect the candidates' scores. Therefore, the popularity of new poems is necessary. I used to be dismissive of the basic knowledge of new poems, but this year I started doing this work and I have talked about ten online classes.

■ Mai Doudou: You can write new poems in the college entrance examination. I think it is a new attempt. Any new thing is worth exploring. The key is how our poetry education and social soil are guided and cultivated. I think poetic education is not only related to the college entrance examination, but also about aesthetics and life. my country has a long tradition of poetry, and poetry has always been part of enlightenment and aesthetic education.

■ Xiong Man: From small to large, my composition is often used as a fan text. This is a encouragement and promotion for me on the way to writing. In my opinion, the education and popularization of poetry are still lagging behind, and there is still a long way to go.

■ Kang Xue: It is a good thing to accept the style of poetry, but the children who want the college entrance examination will not easily write poems on the examination papers. Because the current poetry education and social poetry soil are relatively barren, everyone's cognition and appreciation level of poetry may be based on the poetry in textbooks, and it may be more one -sided or even behind.

■ Li Zhuang: Most of the time I composed high scores (the type of all -grade samples), but I also rolled the question from time to time. This is almost a omen: After many years, I developed the "critic" status of today's high score. I developed the "poet" identity of today's "poet". I have a silk split. I think it is a good thing for the college entrance examination composition to accept poetry, but I will worry about those who choose to write poems. One is to worry about the level of the writer, and the other is to worry about the level of the scroll. This involves the issue of poetry education: I think the current poetry education of primary and secondary schools and even the entire society -even aesthetic education is not enough. Therefore, I am particularly willing to go to high school to give poetry lectures. In fact, I went to different schools to talk many times, and I was very happy each time. Literary public welfare is very meaningful.

Extended reading: their poems

Shangwan Note

I understand the hidden secret history of a place name

It has a vast side: Huangsha after the spring equinox will always pass through the southern slope graveyard.

There is also a kind of compassion

It does not refuse poverty, it makes crows and magpies

At the same time, he lives at the highest point of a poplar.

After winter snow

I will face it again and deliver my humbleness

The sparrow is still foraging, the cave is still collapsed, and the jujube branches are cut off.

I wrote the ending in the northwest wind of thesing:

It is a spiritual birthmark given by the creation to destiny

Yang Biwei:

Poet, Ph.D. in Literature, Doctor of Art.

Gradual

Standing beside the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion

The eaves of the corner of Anfu Temple are tilted up at dusk

A few trees in front of it take care of themselves

Go forward again, the house is rolled out

Going forward is the world of courtyard to talk to the world of silence

There was a vague wind ringtone in the courtyard to me

It works with the slow steps of white pigeons, dust in the wind

There was a noise in the depths of the firmness

When all this kind of goodwill comes outside the fence

I buckle upright, and my body is obsessed with spring color accumulation

Mai Bean:

Lianyungong, Jiangsu, editor of Yangtze River Poetry, now lives in Nanjing.

I hope

The leaves in the rain are large enough

Birds are small enough

Workers in the repair circuit

Lake Liu

Liu Liu will stay in the water by Liu by the lake

Another exposed surface

A bird flew

Stay on the branches and fly away for a while

In the past

This scene has happened several times

A vine climbing it

Climb slowly

Look at it from a distance like one

People tied by vines

Can't see joy or pain

But it is alive and stands there

Maintain the original intention and monotonousness of things

Not to be ignored

Kang Xue:

After the 90s, people from Hunan. He is the author of the poem collection "Back to a Apple Flower" and "The Dewer".

Only the night sky is so beautiful

The light given me tonight

Can stay for the rest of your life

If the world is wishful, it will not be used in the next life

But unfortunately

I no longer need to rely on beautiful things

Survive

Aware that you are just ants

Aware that more people are just ants

No longer sad.

Lin Shan:

I will leave here soon

I will leave here soon

I will remove the twilight

Go down the mountain

Pouring into the crowd

I don't think there is no such dusk again

Can be so vast

Can comfort me like this

I see my grandmother

Step on the full floor Huaihua

Walking from the distant tree

She finally stopped

She finally recognized me

Li Zhuang:
