Longtime factory-worker and Buddhist practitioner, Yang Jian is considered by Chinese poets and public alike to be one of China\u2019s most influential contemporary poets. This sustained recognition reflects his work\u2019s power in communicating the loss and confusion felt by many Chinese living through a time of breakneck change.

This contemplative stance shapes a clear-eyed poetry with the depth of vision needed to articulate the personal suffering implicit in ideas of progress driving immense cultural and ecological devastations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
