Poetry features:Glick is a poet who is unique and passionate, and the bleak appearance of his poetry hides the poetic beauty of a sunken world. The language expression is direct and serious, with little ornamentation, often using a kind of oracle tone, sometimes thin and spicy, attracting people's attention; The poems are mostly short and easy to read, but there are some longer poems from time to time. In recent years, the language has gradually shifted to colloquial language, and there is a sense of leading and washing, and although the theme has not changed much, it often reveals metaphysical thinking about the world. Throughout his more than 50 years of work, Glick has always been sharp, and his artistic techniques and materials are always in flux, always focusing on life, death, love, sexuality, existence and other aspects that are both concrete and abstract. (Liu Xiangyang).
Reason for the award: "Because her unmistakably poetic voice has a simple beauty, which makes the existence of every individual universal".
