《诗人》（写于2001年，收入《更的的》，即将出版）

 诗人

 

他需要众叛亲离

在灵魂深处

搜寻最寂寞的隐秘

 

他需要自我封闭

在不为人知的世界里

解决几个世纪的心事

 

他需要习惯性地叛逆

不断地清洗和反清洗

壮大脑门上那块反骨

 

他需要对“大师”坚决说“不”

哪怕这声音听起来像放屁

他也需要彻底鄙薄那帮跟从“大师”的“傻B”

 

他需要从“民间”和“知识”中脱“身”而出

永远走边缘之路

不实验毋宁死

 

他需要视神奇为腐朽

绝对摈弃诗歌的非非是是

重新化腐朽为神麒

 

他需要始终不如一

更需要1以当100,000,000（读作“亿”）

他不是别人，他就是一己-异己

 

他需要再三自杀

再四否定小无产阶级情绪

把诗歌反革命进行到底

 

他需要淘金土垃圾和洋垃圾

他本就是世人所不齿的人垃圾

杀出一条血路，通向地狱和地狱更深处

 

他最需要的是冷情和消极

以及对各种虚伪的极度鄙视

即便这虚伪已盖上时代赞许的印记

 

他需要对写作发表不了的诗

保持不衰的兴趣

他不需要认识任何编辑

 

他需要阳具，也同样需要机智

但机智不是鸡巴

决非到处射精的胡言乱语

 

他需要以混血推翻纯种的记忆

他需要移植、移殖、再移值

把狗娘养的民族主义操它个B透底！

 

他需要在诗歌的大牢中彻底幸福

反正已经被判无期徒刑

再判它一百五十年又有什么关系！

LOWER DOWNS, RUBBISH AND LOW POETRY by Ouyang Yu

By Ouyang Yu
Beauty is so far from being the dominant principle of modern poetry that many of the most splendid modern works are clearly portrayals of ugliness - Friedrich Schlegel ( On the Study of Greek Poetry , 1797) Contemporary Chinese poetry has unashamedly turned from the sublime and sacred to the vulgar and profane. In April 1999 at the Panfeng Conference in Pinggu County, Beijing, poets split into two camps, the  zhishi fenzi  (intellectual) and the  minjian . 1  The poets in the intellectual camp (Wang Jiaxin, Ouyang Jianghe, Xi Chuan, Zang Di and others) were mostly well-published, anthologised, critically acclaimed, well-travelled and internationally well-connected. As university professor and poetry critic Cheng Guangwei noted, much of their poetry reflects the influences of Western literary masters such as Yeats, Rilke, Lowell, Pound, Baudelaire, Milosz, Pasternak and Brodsky. 2  The  minjian camp (Yu Jian, Yi Sha, Xu Jiang and others) critiqued these infl...

Self Publishing, a poem by Ouyang Yu

By Ouyang Yu
In a way, everything is self publishing. When you open your mouth to talk, you are self publishing because you don’t want someone else to speak for you even if he or she were the speech writer for Howard or Bush or Mao Zedong. When the rain decides to fall it is self publishing, on a regional scale, sometimes on a statewide scale. You can’t dismiss it as unworthily self publishing because it doesn’t fall on a national scale or international scale. Rivers in the world are self publishing on a daily and nightly basis. Even a little creek is self publishing when it winds its way through an industrial zone clogged with toxicity and waste. Birds never remain quiet because they don’t get paid for calling, their ways of self publishing that never is actually recorded in human history, not even in birds’ history, and when sometimes it does get recorded as in relaxation music they still don’t get paid and they still keep singing, their ways of self publishing. Some great self publish...

Wenche Ommundsen: Not for the Faint-Hearted: Ouyang Yu: The Angry Chinese Poet

Wenche Ommundsen: Not for the Faint-Hearted: Ouyang Yu: The Angry Chinese Poet [PAGE 595] In the title poem of Ouyang Yu's first collection,  Moon Over Melbourne , a homesick Chinese poet compares the Australian moon with the moon celebrated by countless poets in his homeland. The moon is the same, but at the same time it is different. Like the ancient Chinese moon, it inspires poetry—and madness. But in Australia, that poetry is born of frustration and loss, and of everything this foreign moon fails to be. The ‘bastard’ moon over suburban Melbourne even looks Australian. ‘Mooching’ along in an ‘air-conditioned’, ‘I-wouldn't-care-less’ kind of mood, it mimics the country's indifference towards the newcomer and towards everything else: ‘you hang on you all right you no worries mate’. 1  Australia and China are both colonizers, but they colonize differently. While Australia is content to plant ‘the rag of a flag/among your rocks’, and then retreat into lazy indifference,...
