This is a literary essay that combines into one the author's comments on world-renowned poets, his opinions on poetic theories, and his life experience in Britain. Demonstrating the author's profound knowledge, it introduces his transformation from a Chinese young man into a poet with mature ideology including his views on poetic artistry and other important issues.
Chuan Sha's fanciful inner transformation itself that took place in London in 1991 followed by another unique experience in Edinburgh in the summer of 1995 is a pleasure to read. From his transformation the reader will learn about how the son of a Chinese official's family changed into a liberal-minded poet, including his new ideology that has been guiding him throughout his literary career ever since. After his rebirth he immigrated to Canada and became a Toronto-based poet, fiction writer and playwright.
Scholars, literary critics, students, and other readers, who are interested in his philosophy and ideology, especially his views and opinions on poetry, fiction, and Chinese and Western civilizations will find this book extremely useful.
