1983

Text

Gu Cheng traces his first reading of Whitman to his adolescence in the 1960s, but he claimed that the dynamic impact of Leaves of grass never really hit him until 1983, when he was in search of a new poetics.
"Eager to unveil the page of heart
But I happened to pen
Selected poems from Leaves of Grass
With the shadow of the eupatorium
Shading a live-oak."
