Dear poetry fans,
On Febr. 10, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung published my article on the poet Nan Ren 南人 (scroll to p. 5; there are a few minor mistakes in the German article, I couldn’t see the final print version before it came out: the first poem has one line added; and Shaanxi became Shanxi). Last week I decided to write a version in English for the MCLC Resource Center.
This is a newspaper article, so there are no footnotes. The reference to Maghiel van Crevel was not included in the German print version. I have thought about many names of poets I should have mentioned, and other things I should have said. Anyway, such a publication in a major daily in Germany is a big success, a big deal in international exposure for current Chinese poetry. I hope you like it. Please comment, thank you!
Sources: Here is a link to the poems in the article including the original Chinese versions. And here are some of the paintings by Huang Li 黄丽 that accompany the poems in the book. The pictures look much better in the book. Nan Ren has sent them to me in high resolution. He and Xiron have authorized me to look for publishers in Europe and beyond. I hope to find publishers for the German speaking and for the English speaking Pawnshop. Here is a link to about 50 poems in Chinese with some translations in English or German. Here is a link to the announcement from last May, when the book was published in China. The publisher is Xiron Poetry Club, 磨铁读诗会. Xiron is a big publisher, led by the poet Shen Haobo 沈浩波. But Xiron is private and has to purchase an ISBN for each book from a state publisher. The state publisher is on the cover, Xiron Poetry Club is on the first page. Both have to avoid publishing anything that could get the book pulled or forbidden.
IN A PAWNSHOP OF PAIN
Nan Ren is a legend. He doesn’t like to say when he was born. 1970, found that somewhere. Not important. Nan Ren is a pen name. The nán of ‘south‘ and the rén of ‘person‘. What does that mean? His family comes from the south, somewhere south of the Long River, the Yangtse. Nanren, southern people, was the lowest stratum in the Mongol empire. The Mongols captured the south last, all the better jobs had been assigned to other people already. Almost every poet writing in Chinese has a pen name. People have more than one name in Chinese, even non-artists. It was that way in Confucius‘ times. And in the occident, people also had several names, at least prominent people, all the way from Homer.

CHANGE
Maybe ten years ago,
we were drinking & talking,
he said though we are living
in a prison,
there is quite a bit of exercise.
You young guys have to learn
to seek joy in sorrow.
Today he sings praises
of his native country,
for sure doesn’t think
he’s in a prison.
No,
he would never admit
he ever said
anything like that.

大约十年前
喝酒聊天时
他说虽然我们生活在
监狱里
但放风时间长
你们年轻人
要学会苦中作乐
如今的他
爱歌颂祖国
肯定不会认为自己
生活在监狱里
不
他甚至都不会承认
自己说过
这样的话

PASSING THROUGH THE NORTH GATE WITH A MOUTH FULL OF VINEGAR
Got off the bus,
into the supermarket,
didn’t know what to buy,
bought a bottle of cheap vinegar.
Paid,
opened the bottle,
drank a sip,
wanting to swallow.
Then I remembered,
holding white vinegar in your mouth
can clean up the gums
and stains on the teeth.
So with that sip
in my mouth,
I walked back home
through the north gate of our compound.
The guard over there
likes to greet me and say a few words.
He saw
I looked strange,
so he asked what was wrong.
But I still had
my mouth full of vinegar,
so I didn’t explain
any
thing.
Translated by MW in August 2023
口含白醋过北门
•王有尾
下了公交
我拐进超市
不知道买啥
就买了一瓶白醋
付完钱
打开瓶盖
喝了一口
准备咽下时
才想起
口含白醋
可以清除
牙齿的污垢
我就含着
那口白醋
从小区北门
往回走
平时喜欢给我
打招呼的保安
看见我
奇怪的样子
问这是怎么了
但我含着
一口醋
就没给他解释
这么
多

WANG WEI
His name is actually
Wang Youwei.
Literally that means
King with a tail,
or Wang with a tail.
He is a poet
in today’s Xi’an.
Wang Wei is the great
Tang dynasty poet.
His grave is outside of Xi’an,
the former Tang dynasty capital Chang’an,
in a somewhat derelict factory.
The factory makes
something for spaceflight,
so it is secret,
big signs anounce that.
There is a roadside restaurant
called Wang Wei’s Grave.
It belongs to the factory.
In a galaxy far, far away,
we all sneaked in together,
to recite poetry
under the tree
that Wang Wei planted
thirteen hundred years ago
or so.
It was a great dynasty
in retrospect.
That’s why I call
Wang Youwei
Wang Wei,
I just can’t help it.
MW August 2023
王维
维马丁
西毒何殇译
他的名字其实是
王有尾。
字面意思是
长着尾巴的国王，
或者有条尾巴的王。
他是一个诗人
在今天的西安。
王维是伟大的
唐代诗人。
他的坟墓在西安郊外，
即唐朝的都城长安，
一座有些荒废的工厂里
这家工厂制造
航天的玩意儿，
所以它是机密，
大标识明示了这一点。
有一家路边餐厅
叫“王维墓”。
它属于工厂。
在一个遥远的星系，
我们一起溜进去
读诗
在王维
大约一千三百年前
亲手栽种的
树下。
回想起来
这是一个伟大的王朝。
这就是为什么我把
王有尾叫作
王维
我就是忍不住。

RIMBAUD THOUGHT SO, TOO
So many trucks moving earth on the road,
can’t go very fast.
I had too much water,
at a gas station, at a construction
on the safety strip
I took a leak, three times.
Sounds of autumn,
mixed with car lights.
Wang Youwei wakes up half drunk,
suddenly says,
I will always keep writing.
However, Youwei,
Rimbaud thought so too,
later he went and sold guns.

GRAND NARRATIVE vs PERSONAL NARRATIVE
In the morning I talked to my wife
about the year
when they buried Deng Xiaoping.
My wife wondered
why she didn’t remember that at all.
I said on that day
all students in our school
stood with white flowers
under the classroom building
watching the tribute on TV.
I was talking too much,
conversed with a neighbor.
The director saw me,
pulled me out,
kicked me twice in the legs
in front of the whole school.
I stood alone
fixing my eyes
on the service for the whole time.
Such an experience
how could I forget that?

汉语先锋·2021年度最佳诗歌100首｜维马丁《致西毒何殇》入选理由：又是一首外国人用中文写的诗，来自奥地利诗人、翻译家维马丁。这首诗非常中国，读来竟有某种中国古典诗歌的意境。一首短短的致友诗，其中包含着多重难以名状的情绪，有对友情的怀念，有对昔日不再有的怅惘，有对时代的忧伤，有对丢失事物的缅怀，有祝福，有叹息，娓娓道来，融为一体，万般滋味，化作绕指柔。其中有妙笔，尤其扣人心弦——“在那棵树下，我们多小。”(磨铁读诗会)

Facebook sagt mir,
Du bist heute 40.
Gratuliere! Das Jahr ohne Zweifel, sagt Konfuzius.
Letztes Jahr hast du tolle Gedichte geschrieben,
und einen Roman, schaut großartig aus!
Facebook zeigt auch gleich
unser Foto zusammen
beim Grab von Wang Wei,
vor dem großen Baum.
Unter dem Baum
sind wir alle so klein!
Das war ein herrlicher Ausflug,
wir haben jeder Gedichte geschrieben.
Zwei Jahre sind vergangen,
fühlt sich an wie zehn.
Es ist eine andere Zeit.
Der Baum
steht wahrscheinlich noch dort,
wir Menschen von damals
sind noch am Leben,
aber mir kommt vor
wir haben etwas verloren,
und zwar nicht nur die Jahre.
Hoffe, Dir gehts gut!

IN MITTLEREN JAHREN IM ABENDLICHT
Der Mann in mittleren Jahren
der gegen Abend
auf dem Parkplatz unterm Baum
den Bauch herausstreckt
sich breitbeinig hinstellt
seinen Schwanz herausholt –
Ich kenn ihn nicht
kann doch nicht vermeiden
noch ein paarmal hinzuschauen.
Er hat die Haltung
zum Urinieren
aber es kommt nichts.
Sein Ausdruck
als ob er nachdenkt
sich erinnert
auf etwas wartet
aber nicht
wie beim Urinieren.
Die Augen schauen
ins Abendlicht.
Leute gehen hin und her
das worauf er wartet
das kommt nicht daher.
Er tut so als ob.
Diese Haltung zum Leben
zur Peinlichkeit
ich glaub wir sind alle recht ähnlich.

傍晚那个
解开裤子
掏出鸡鸡
叉着双腿
挺起肚子
站在停车场树下
的中年男人
我不认识
却忍不住
多看了他几眼
他摆出
尿尿的姿势
却尿不出来
他的神色
像思索
像回忆
像若有所期
唯独不像尿尿
眼看着
暮色四合
人来人往
他等待的东西
却迟迟不来
他那种假装
对生命的尴尬
若无其事的样子
我想我们都差不多吧

der auf dem kleinen Platz
Zigaretten herausholt
eine zwischen den Fingern hält
und sich umschaut
in jede Richtung.
Alle gehen schnell vorbei,
die meisten mit Mundschutz.
Er schaut gewichtig
noch einmal in die Runde.
Kurz bevor
ich an ihm vorbeikomm,
nehm ich meinen Mundschutz herunter,
hol extra mein Feuerzeug heraus,
zünd mir eine an,
geh ganz gemütlich.
Aber obwohl unsere Schultern
einander fast streifen,
macht er nicht den Mund auf
und fragt mich
um Feuer.

STOLZ
Unser einziger Stolz
ist, dass wir lachen über Leute in Wien,
die gehen mit Bannern auf die Straße
und protestieren ihr Leben sei schlecht.
Wenn unser Leben nicht gut ist,
gehen wir nie auf die Straße,
murren nur wir sind nicht fleißig genug.
Und manchmal halt,
egal ob wir leben,
dürfen wir gar nicht auf die Straße.

《骄傲》
西毒何殇
我们唯一的骄傲
就是可以嘲笑维也纳人
打着横幅上街
抗议自己活的不好
我们活的不好
从不上街
只埋怨自己不够努力
还有些时候
我们活不活着
都上不了街

ERSTER SEIN
Fahrkisten im Osten?
Nein, er verflucht
gern Faschisten im Westen.
Aber was wenn
Fapisste im Süden
Fakiffte im Norden
auch noch dazu kommen?
Dann muss er kämpfen
mit seinen Faschisten
als ganz großes Stichwort
ganz oben zu bleiben.

《比赛第一》
西毒何殇
别看法东斯
平常喜欢
骂法西斯
但是如果有
法南斯和法北斯
加入进来
那他首要任务
就是搞积分
争排名
上头条

TRUST
those few days of the earthquake
people in our compound
didn’t dare to sleep in their flats
they moved into tents
the contractor from the eight floor
came out to tell us:
“you don’t have to worry,
I built this myself!
all good material!
if every house in xi’an collapses
this one will still stand …”
then came the clinch:
“otherwise why would I live here,
a guy with money like me?”

THE GUY WHO SELLS SWEET POTATOES IS GONE
only the sweet potato oven is there
on the side of the road
baking by itself
next to the oven
a long line of people
but
the guy who sells sweet potatoes is gone
there is a girl with paper boxes
there is a boy who squats by the road
with a stand selling tangerines
and the cart shouting out stinky tofu
dusk and the scenes of departure
pressed into juice
by the crowd of the evening
parking lot auntie putting her life on the line
chasing a fee-dodging audi
at the bus stop
people coming to blows
only the line at the sweet potato oven
stays in perfect order
but the guy who sells sweet potatoes is gone

DER SÜSZKARTOFFELVERKÄUFER IST WEG
nur der süßkartoffelofen
steht noch an der straße
bäckt alleine weiter
vor dem ofen
eine lange schlange
aber
der süßkartoffelverkäufer ist weg
da ist ein mädchen mit papierschachteln
da hockt ein mann auf der straße
und verkauft mandarinen
und der stinktofu-karren preist laut seine ware
und die menge am abend
presst ihren saft
aus dämmerung und szenen des fahrens
die tante vom parkplatz
riskiert ihr leben,
verfolgt einen audi, der nicht bezahlt hat
an der bushaltestelle
ist eine schlägerei
nur vor dem süßkartoffelofen
steht eine stille geordnete schlange
aber der süßkartoffelverkäufer ist weg

JAILBIRDS AND HEROES
that year our teacher loved chi zhiqiang
actor who went to jail for loose behaviour
we had a contest for prison songs
my “tears on prison bars” earned me first prize:
black “hero” fountain pen
