<p>Mang Ke (b. 1950, penname of Jiang Shiwei <span lang="ZH-CN">姜世伟</span>) began writing poetry as a sent-down youth in Baiyangdian, rural Hebei province, during the Cultural Revolution. As co-founder of the PRC's first unofficial literary journal <em>Jintian</em> (<em>Today</em>) in 1978, he is one of the progenitors of what would later be called Obscure or "Misty" Poetry, with spare, impressionistic poems that were among the first to break free of the imposed discourse of Maoism towards an image-based literary style that left space for both expression and interpretation. He currently makes his living as an abstract painter and lives in Songzhuang, an artists’ colony on the outskirts of Beijing.</p>
<p>"Mang Ke's poems are radical in their immediacy, exploring the vexed space between public world and private experience, honing in on the gap between with sometimes uncanny directness ... I don't think I have ever read anything quite like it."—Rae Armantrout</p>
<p>"Mang Ke is a genius amongst contemporary Chinese poets. In a dark age, his early lyric poems were unparalleled--translucent, profound, and enchanting."—Bei Dao</p>
