A miscellany gathered in tribute to Gu Cheng (1956-93) who killed himself in New Zealand. He is widely considered one of the most important Chinese poets of the 20th century. The topics include the suicide of Chinese poets in the 20th century, not understanding poetry, the role of nature in his poetry and prose, his views of Goethe's Faust, pursuing his dream, and his last days. Several interviews and letters, facsimiles of the originals, are among the documents. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
