When I was young, strong heroes in my favourite novels gave me courage and provided a map for my life. And I didn’t discover the power of poetry until I was in my twenties and making my way in New York. That’s when life got serious and broke my heart.
A teacher who later became a dear friend introduced me to Edna St Vincent Millay (ESVM), the famous poet who lived in Manhattan at the turn of the 20th century. One of my favourite possessions—a valuable first-edition copy of ESVM’s short poetry collection, A Few Figs from Thistles—was a gift from this friend who was old enough to be my mother at the time. She told me the poem First Fig described how I was living my life. “My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—it gives a lovely night!”
I was struggling to make ends meet but always made time for fun by hanging out with friends. Some of them of course were careless with my heart but I could always find comfort and courage in ESVM’s wise words.

Rather than bore my friends, I could fall into my sorrow—whenever it hit me—and cry as much as I wanted in my bedroom. I found everything I needed in those 32 pages—hope, wisdom and encouragement. In the years since, I’ve found myself attracted to poetry whenever someone caused me pain.
Is it actually possible for something as common as a poem to save a life? I’m not certain of that but I can prove the power of words. Like a relaxing walk outside, poetry can provide a healthy distraction and a meaningful change in our perspective.
Like music, poetry speaks a universal language of rhythm, and speaks truths in a language that describes emotions. So why not keep interested in poems?

[重庆八中2024高二月考] In late 2021, The Road of Tang Poetry, a book co-authored by Nobel Prize-winning French novelist Le Clézio and Professor Dong Qiang, was published by People’s Literature Publishing House in China. This book also represents a practice of cross-cultural dialogue.
Le Clézio regards the Tang Dynasty as the golden age of Chinese poetry. Due to their efforts, Le Clézio and Dong simplified complex issues and broke time and space limitations to examine five outstanding poets from the Tang era.
Nature is a theme of common concern to Chinese and foreign poets alike. Influenced by European poetic traditions, Le Clézio was amazed the first time he read Li Bai’s Sitting Alone in Face of Peak Jingting. The peace and harmony when the man is alone with nature, as conveyed in the poem, deeply impressed Le Clézio, who loves nature deeply. The poem even inspired him to look for his own “Mountain Jingting”, where he could sit facing its peak like Li Bai and lose himself in nature.
刷阅读理解

In addition to Li Bai, other Tang poets, such as Du Fu, Bai Juyi, and Zhang Ruoxu, also highly praised nature through poetry. Like them, foreign poets like British and German Romantic poets sang nature’s praises.
When trying to understand Chinese poetry, Westerners must have “windows” through which to read. For example, due to insufficient knowledge of Chinese language and culture, French poet Judith Gautier relied heavily on her Chinese teacher Ding Dunling to explain the Chinese texts when she was translating classical Chinese poetry.
The path of spreading Tang poetry through joint efforts made by Chinese and French scholars should be an energetic, inclusive stream of poetry that welcomes mutual learning, as a saying suggests, “Poetry is a stream that continually flows.”

[山东临沂2024期中] Uncertainty pops up frequently in conversations. The pandemic, and the growing climate disasters heighten our awareness of our inability to control many current challenges. No wonder we’re invaded by anxiety and isolation. We know there are stress-reduction techniques like yoga and exercise. Another much-overlooked one that restores our sense of well-being is poetry.
Poetry reconnects us with the beauty of the world, while also naming its difficulties. Rather than dismissing hardships, poetry reminds us that others have also lost a loved one, experienced disappointments—have suffered as we now suffer. Poetry allows us to identify our personal confusions, breaks our feeling of isolation, and confirms our sense of belonging. Poetry leads us towards wisdom and acceptance.

Science agrees. The International Arts + Mind Lab at Johns Hopkins University offers convincing evidence that poetry is good for our health. A study from 2013 in Philippines showed that guided poetry writing sessions significantly lessened depression in a group of adolescents. Written eight hundred years ago, the poem The Guest House invites us to view life’s experiences and the feelings that arise from them as temporary visitors in the “guest house” of self. With patience and compassion, the author Jalaluddin Rumi advises us to recognize that even negative moods are precious teachers for our growth.

Think of poetry as an entrance to a timeless place where we find comfort, companionship, connections, wisdom, and healing. Poetry names the disconnect as well, where we have gone blind to threats and personal sorrows that threaten to overwhelm us. With its precision of language, and its naming of experiences, poetry, in a small space, usually one page, packs a wallop (巨大影响). Entering a poem, readers can sense painful experiences are reframed and can be given a new understanding by the poem. That’s because poetry reflects a rich mix of the sweetness and bitterness in life. It refreshes our minds and offers invented landscapes of imagery. For your own peace of mind, I encourage you to take up a friendship with poetry.
