讲座内容概要：
This lecture delves into the multifaceted exploration of contemporary poetry. We begin by examining the core concepts of poetry creation, underscoring the unique perspectives and depth poets should convey in their works. Then, we analyze the intricate relationship between poetry and social reality, showing how poetry mirrors and responds to societal issues. Furthermore, the lecture delves into the connection between poetry and personal identity, as well as the role of poetry in cultural transmission. By comparing poetic practices across diverse cultural contexts, we uncover the potential of poetry as a medium for cross-cultural communication.
