\"Qui<\/a>Jonathan Stalling speaks with Qiu Xiaolong <\/a>at TheConversant.org.<\/p>\n

Qiu Xiaolong (\u88d8\u5c0f\u9f99 ) began writing poems in Chinese in 1978, when he studied under the well-known Chinese poet, Bian Zhilin (\u535e\u4e4b\u7433). \u00a0After moving to the U.S., Qiu shifted to writing in English, and while he has continued to write and publish poetry<\/em>, he has become a popular novelist, with eight novels in the internationally best-selling \u201cInspector Chen\u201d series, whose protagonist is a poet. Qiu has a collection of short stories, and several collections of classic Chinese poetry in translation as well. In this conversation, we talk about his background in modern Chinese poetry, his own ongoing dialog with Classical Chinese and his relationship to his poet-protagonist Inspector Chen. Qiu\u2019s poetry is featured in the current issue of <\/em>Chinese Literature Today magazine. This recording took place at the Montford Inn in Norman, Oklahoma in 2012.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
