About the author

Shen Haobo is a contemporary Chinese poet. The library holds five of his works, commonly classified as modern poetry. Representative titles include Night at Hualien, Order Me to Be Silent, In This World, For Real: Selected Poems by Five Poets (Vol. 1), Declaring War on Mediocrity: Chinese Avant-Garde Poetry, Vol. 2, and Chinese Avant-Garde: 2019 Poetry Annual. These works show that his writing centers on poetry while also involving the editing of poetry anthologies and the promotion of Chinese avant-garde poetry. His themes often revolve around lived reality, personal experience, and linguistic experimentation, and his style is direct and sharp, marked by colloquialism and a rebellious edge. Public information is limited, and his biography, nationality, and awards cannot be confirmed; from the available works, however, he is a recognizable presence in contemporary Chinese poetry and takes part in avant-garde poetics through both writing and editing.
