As long as poets exist, it means that there will always be people reading poems.
From a distant point of view, among contemporary poets, I remember that after Yu Xiuhua published his poems, he still wrote about the official WeChat account and read a lot. Under her official WeChat account, people who like to comment are undoubtedly people who read poems.
Younger, let me give an example of Li Dan, a famous talk show actor. At the same time, he is a writer. At the same time, he is a poet. He often shares poems on Weibo, and even writes his own poems. Among his fans, quite a few people are willing to even like reading poetry. And he himself is undoubtedly one of the people who read poetry.
Sometimes when we talk about reading poetry, we think it is literature and art, and it is pretending. We think we are just reading sentences that people don't understand. Even though the works of some avant-garde poets have been criticized and ridiculed more than once in recent years, there are still some young people who read and love poetry anyway.
Including myself, I also read poetry.
I like Simboska's sentence, "I prefer the absurdity of writing poetry to the absurdity of not writing poetry." This poem inspired me a lot.
After all, the world is like this. I'll do it anyway, and the world is still like this. Then why don't I try to please myself with a high-spirited attitude and spend my life happily?
I can do many things and go to many places, can't I?
I can read poems, read every poem I like; I can write poems and write down every sentence I like. I don't have to see the outside world too far. As long as I live like myself, it is already very good.
Isn't it?
