Zang Di, who has been honored three times as one of China’s top ten poets,
is a featured poet at the Princeton Poetry Festival on October 5-6, 2017.
His new collection, The Roots of Wisdom, translated by award-winning
translator Eleanor Goodman, will be published at the same time by Zephyr
Press. In this bilingual book, Zang Di uses rich, emotional language to
explore the natural world, including his beloved Weiming Lake at Peking
University — his “Walden.” Zang Di will also give readings at Harvard
University’s Yenching Library on September 27, and at Yale University on
October 9, during his visit to the U.S.
Zang Di 臧棣, a poet, critic, translator, and editor, was born in Beijing in
1964. He was educated at Peking University, where he received his Ph.D. in
literature in 1997 and where he now teaches. Widely acknowledged as one of
the leading poets and literary critics of his generation, he has won
numerous honors and awards, including the Contemporary China’s Top Ten
Prominent Young Poets Award (2005), China’s Top Ten Rising Poetry Critics
Award (2007), the Chinese Poetry Biennial Top Ten Poets Award (2008), and
the Poet of the Year Award (2008). Zang has published many collections of
poetry, including The Universe Is Flat (2008) and No-Name Lake (2010), and
edited several major anthologies of modern and contemporary Chinese poetry,
as well as a collection of Chinese translations of Rilke’s poetry. He is
the editor of the journal New Poetry Criticism.
