According to the news of China Poetry Network on December 19, 2023, the 2022 Chen Ziang Poetry Award of "Poetry Magazine" was announced, and Jiang Fei, vice chairman of the Hainan Writers Association, won the "Poet of the Year Award", which should be the highest award of this award. Jiang Fei's work that won this award is the group of poems "Cultivation Night", which was published in the first half of the 7th issue of "Poetry Magazine" in 2022.
Poet of the Year Award", according to my understanding, is the best poetry work of the year. "Poetry Magazine" has a "headline poet" every month, and it stands to reason that it is the best poetry work of the month. Therefore, according to common sense, there is a high probability that the "Poet of the Year Award" will come from the "Headline Poet" of a certain month of the year.
However, in July 2022, the month in which Jiang Fei's award-winning poems were published, he was not a "headline poet". And the "headline poet" of that issue of "Poetry Magazine" was Wang Ziliang, and the group of poems was called "Yangtze River Source". In that issue, Jiang Fei's group of poems was in the "Phalanx" column, ranking third in the column, with Lan Lan and Jiannan in front of him.
From this point of view, the monthly "headline poet" is not the best work of the month. The top ones are not necessarily the best works. From another point of view, this may show the "fairness" of the Chan Tzu Ang Poetry Prize. I don't look at whether it is the "headline poet" of the month, nor whether it is at the top, but I speak with my works.
Since we are talking about works, we might as well compare and take a look at Jiang Fei's "Cultivation Night" and Wang Ziliang's "Snow Leopard, Source of the Yangtze River". I'm not afraid of big things when I'm watching the excitement, which can be regarded as a kind of boring performance.
Which of these two poems is better?I can't say, I can't say, but they should all be the best in the opinion of "Poetry Magazine". One is the "Headline Poet" of the month, and the other is the "Poet of the Year Award" of the year. Of course, it must be said here that they are all a group of poems, and one poem from each here is not comprehensive, and can only be seen roughly.
Green vegetables and turnips, each with its own love. It is conceivable that some people will think Jiang Fei's "Cultivation Night" is good, and some people will think Wang Ziliang's "Snow Leopard, Source of the Yangtze River" is good. Of course, there will be people who think that both poems are good, and there will be people who think that both poems are bad. The matter of poetry has always been difficult to reconcile.
As soon as the 2022 Chen Ziang Poetry Award of "Poetry Magazine" was announced, the Hainan Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles issued good news. The list of winners was announced by the China Poetry Network at 13:39, and the time when the Hainan Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles released the good news was 19:04. It's not fast, but it's fast enough.
The good news released by the Hainan Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles shows that in addition to Jiang Fei, vice chairman of the Hainan Provincial Critics Association (the full name is the Hainan Provincial Literary and Art Critics Association), Zhang Weidong, the director of the committee, also won the award, and he won the "Young Critic of the Year Award". The two won the award at the same time, which is indeed a good news.
At the end of each year, the poetry world will be very lively, and various awards will be awarded one after another. Therefore, this is also the harvest season of the poetry circle. Many poets are even more busy, and they have just received this award, and they have not stopped to receive the next award. So, congratulations to Jiang Fei!Congratulations to Zhang Weidong!There are other authors who have won the Poetry Magazine's 2022 Poetry Award!
I remember that Jiang Fei was originally the vice chairman of the Hainan Provincial Writers Association, but I don't know why this matter was not mentioned in this good news?I searched the Internet and found no relevant results. And Jiang Fei is the vice chairman of the Hainan Provincial Literature and Art Critics Association, but it is the first time he knows about it. Anyway, they're all vice chairmen, so they should be about the same, right?I don't know.
