Publisher's Synopsis
The 175 poems collected in this book are written by 12 contemporary poets from the United States and China, with various topics and styles. Most of them have never met each other face-to-face besides through the love of poetry on the Internet. They are all members of a WeChat poetry group named under William Marr, a well-known Chinese American poet living in Chicago, and claimed to be his students. However, William told them that in the realm of poetry, everyone is a student, including himself. So, let this book be a bond of friendship and let's learn from each other, encourage each other and move forward hand in hand in the kingdom of poetry!
本書收錄的175首詩由來自美國和中國的12位當代詩人創作，主題和風格各異。他們中的大多數人除了在網上談詩接觸外，從未見過面。他們都是住在芝加哥的著名華裔詩人非馬旗下的微信詩歌群的成員，自稱是他的學生。但非馬告訴他們，在詩歌領域裡，每個人都是學生，包括他自己。就把這本書作為友誼的紐帶，讓我們彼此學習，互相鼓勵，在詩的國度裡攜手前進吧！
