About the author

Wang Jianzhao is a Chinese writer whose work spans modern poetry and literary nonfiction. Public information about him is limited, and no clear record of his birth and death dates, native place, or educational background is available. Judging from the three works held in the collection, his writing centers on poetry while also touching on essays and humanities talks. The two poetry titles, I Entrust This Book to the Wind and The Ivy Poetry Series: Selected Poems of Wang Jianzhao, Wuhan University Volume, present his poetic voice: the first suggests a tone of entrusting and emotional release through the image of giving a book to the wind, while the second, as a personal selection within a poetry series, shows his work has appeared in a university poetry publishing program. The Fish King's Sorrow Has Become Our Sorrow belongs to the Imaginist humanities talk series, indicating that he also takes part in dialogues and oral-style writing. His works are usually classified under literature, modern poetry, and literary nonfiction. His language tends to be introspective and lyrical, attentive to the nuances of personal experience and feeling. Overall, his output is modest and mainly poetic, with a quiet style suited to readers interested in contemporary Chinese poetry and humanistic essays.
