China’s other world of poetry : three underground poets from Sichuan Day, Michael Martin
Abstract
The details of China's underground poetry movement during the 1980s have yet to be fully documented within or without China. This thesis is a first, partial attempt to do so by way of focusing upon three poets of Sichuan province who were both very active and influential in the poetry underground. A relatively close, semi-biographical examination of these three individuals and their poetry reveals some of the artistic and political difficulties of Chinese underground poets in general, and also brings to light the circumstances of underground poets outside of readily accessible (to Western scholars) urban centers, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The history of the three poets goes up to and beyond June Fourth 1989. Their responses to June Fourth and the results of the repression which followed, both with regard to their persons and their poetry, offer some insight into the future directions and function of underground poetry and poetry in general in China.

Description |
The details of China's underground poetry movement during
the 1980s have yet to be fully documented within or without
China. This thesis is a first, partial attempt to do so by
way of focusing upon three poets of Sichuan province who
were both very active and influential in the poetry
underground. A relatively close, semi-biographical
examination of these three individuals and their poetry
reveals some of the artistic and political difficulties of
Chinese underground poets in general, and also brings to
light the circumstances of underground poets outside of
readily accessible (to Western scholars) urban centers, such
as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
The history of the three poets goes up to and beyond June
Fourth 1989. Their responses to June Fourth and the results
of the repression which followed, both with regard to their
persons and their poetry, offer some insight into the future
directions and function of underground poetry and poetry in
general in China.
