A Discussion on Liu Chun’s Contemporary Verse Criticism

A representative poet of the post-1970s generation and a critic himself, Liu Chun has, in recent years, gradually recounted the contemporary history in an individualized manner. The individualized narration of such a sort is manifest, first of all, in his effort to place history in a certain context in his recount of new history so as to ensure the comprehension of contemporary in the context of history, and secondly, in his persistent adherence to the lyrical essence of and in his narration of the relationship between man and verse as well as between diction and objects in the modern arena in the perspective of his personal feeling, which has injected into contemporary criticism a feature of primary genuineness.
