Chinese poet and poetry critic Qin Xiaoyu invited the Proletarian to attend a meeting at Peking University last Friday on poetry in online media. The meeting was sponsored and chaired by Yang Erwen, founder of ArtsBj.com (\u5317\u4eac\u6587\u827a\u7f51), and Yang Lian, whom Yang Erwen has worked into some advisory position at the website.

Morse also mentions Xi Chuan’s “observations on poetry throughout Chinese history.” Click here <\/a>for the whole piece.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
