Description
Book SynopsisExamines what happens when poetry, a central pillar of traditional Chinese culture, encounters an era of digital media and unabashed consumerism in the early twenty-first century. This book sets out to unravel a paradox surrounding modern Chinese poetry.
Trade Review"[An] outstanding monograph….this book is not ‘just’ about poetry, and lives up to the expectations raised by its focus on the online world, and wider issues at the confluence of culture, economy, media, and politics in the conjuncture of twenty-first-century China."
