Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
"Standing on the Side of Fiction" is a collection of poetic art criticism by poet Ouyang Jianghe. The whole book constructs Ouyang Jianghe's poetic knowledge system. In this book, we will see the poet's thinking on the nature of writing, the existence of poets, and the historical possibility of poetics. "Standing on the Side of Fiction" further shows that the poet's sensitivity to writing is not presumptuous but humble. The poet is not loyal to the established metaphysical system or even the classics of poetry, nor does he passively identify with the superficial equality of writing and "life", but defends the existence of existence in the form of problems, "indulging in the fascination with unknown things", and enjoying the vitality, enthusiasm and joy brought by writing. Ouyang Jianghe uses his own concepts to re-sort out his views on poetry, which has great enlightenment significance for poetic research.
